Received Date: Oct 01, 2024 / Published Date: Oct 29, 2024
Abstract
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a group of neurological disorders that affect movement, posture, and muscle tone. It is caused by abnormal brain development or damage to the brain during early development, often occurring before or during birth, or within the first few years of life. As one of the most common motor disabilities in childhood, CP presents a range of challenges for affected individuals, their families, and healthcare providers. This article delves into the causes, types, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options available for managing cerebral palsy, highlighting the importance of early intervention and comprehensive care.Cerebral palsy results from damage to the developing brain, which affects its ability to control movement and muscle coordination. Unlike many other neurological conditions, CP is non-progressive, meaning the initial brain injury does not worsen over time. However, the physical symptoms can change and may become more pronounced as a child grows.CP can range from mild to severe, with some individuals experiencing minor motor skill challenges while others may be significantly disabled and require assistance with daily activities. CP can also be associated with other issues such as intellectual disabilities, vision or hearing problems, and epilepsy.
