About Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy is caused by an injury to the brain before, during or shortly following birth. Cerebral Palsy affects a person's body movements and muscle coordination.

Lack of oxygen to the brain can cause fetal distress, which can be detected by correctly interpreting the fetal monitor strip. If the fetal distress is not diagnosed or treated soon enough, a child may be born with Cerebral Palsy. The damage to a child's cerebrum caused by the lack of oxygen may disrupt the brain's ability to control movement and posture and may result in the loss of nerve functions in many different areas.

There are three types of Cerebral Palsy:

Spastic Cerebral Palsy – Spastic Cerebral Palsy results in difficult and stiff movements

Ataxic Cerebral Palsy – Ataxic Cerebral Palsy causes loss of depth perception and sense of balance

Athetoid Cerebral Palsy – Athetoid Cerebral Palsy causes uncontrolled and involuntary movements.
