Cerebral Palsy Symptoms
Cerebral palsy is the most common type of physical disability in childhood. It affects just over 2 children in 1,000 live births. While a number of factors may contribute to Cerebral palsy, difficulties during very late pregnancy, during birth, or shortly after birth are all known as “birth injury” and are major cause of the disorder.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of a group of permanent movement disorders and are cause by the brain’s inability to control the muscles. The symptoms appear at infancy or in early childhood and symptoms may vary in severity.
