Cerebral palsy a pediatric neurological disease & is the result of damage to the developing brain, which results in a disorder of movement and posture that is permanent but not unchanging.

Types of cerebral palsy:
The spastic forms of CP are characterized by stiff muscles and muscle spasms. The dyskinetic forms of CP are characterized by involuntary, writhing movements. Ataxic CP, the least disabling of all the forms, is characterized by balance and depth perception problems which make walking difficult. Hypotonic CP is characterized by overly relaxed, “floppy” muscles. As the name implies, mixed CP is characterized by symptoms of two or more forms of the disorder.

Treatment:
Physical therapy, occupational therapy, GAIT TRAINING, Botox, and speech therapy help improve the quality of life for CP patients.
