Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of neurological
disorders that affect movement, muscle tone, and posture. It is caused by
damage to the developing brain, typically before or during birth, or in early
infancy. The severity of CP varies widely, from mild impairment to severe
disability.
Symptoms of cerebral palsy include spasticity (stiff
muscles), dyskinesia (uncontrolled movements), and ataxia (poor balance and
coordination). These symptoms can impact daily activities, communication, and
independent living. In addition to motor issues, individuals with CP may have
associated conditions such as intellectual disabilities, seizures, or sensory
impairments.
Diagnosis involves a combination of medical history,
physical examinations, and imaging tests like MRI. While there is no cure for
cerebral palsy, treatments focus on managing symptoms and improving quality of
life. This may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy,
medications, and sometimes surgical interventions.
With proper care and support, individuals with
cerebral palsy can lead fulfilling and productive lives.
