What can people do to keep their cerebral palsy from getting worse?
Amoss1
Cerebral palsy is a condition caused by damage to the cerebrum, which is the largest part of the brain. If a baby undergoes a prolonged period of oxygen deprivation during birth, that causes brain damage. There are all sorts of things that can go wrong with the process of childbirth, such as the umbilical cord getting tangled, the baby not being correctly positioned to pass through the birth canal, etc., and these things can interfere with the continued supply of oxygen to the baby.

∙ 14y agoCerebral palsy is carried from birth, A lack of oxygen to the brain while in the womd.Sometimes a diegnosis of cerebral palsy is given when a person has had oxygen cut off for to long due to a injury and has acute M,R, (mental retardation).75% of children with CP have had an injury to the brain stem during or before child birth,15% Have had an injury to the brain stem from birth up to age three ,So as far as preventions a women can only try to take care of herself during her pregnecy ,Not to be lazy but careful not to have injury to herself or the babby,Children will be cildren at play and everyday activeties but we need to just watch them and teach them what is dangerous and to be careful .We cant frighten them and be to protective but learn to have a good respect of the human body,That it can be injured but that it can also be made stronger.

∙ 13y agoNo, cerebral palsy is not considered a genetic disorder. It is caused by certain types of injury to the brain, often from oxygen deprivation during childbirth.

How old do people with cerebral plasey live?
Doctors and medical professionals are still not yet experts on giving the life expectancy for people living with cerebral palsy. Cerebral Palsy gets worse over time affecting gross motor function such as the ability to walk. Adults life expectancy with cerebral palsy depends on the type, severity and associated disabilities. The life expectancy for an adult can range from 30 year old for those with severe cerebral palsy such as feeding difficulties and ridgidity to 60-70 for a milder form of this condition.
Can mild Cerebral Palsy get worse?
No, it is non-progressive meaning that it does not worsen. With correct treatment certain aspects of mild CP can improve such as walking, etc.
Is cerebral palsy curable?
most people with cerebral palsy live normal lives except w/ extra help , but they live around the same years we do -Different User Answer: The PS was not significant, much less relevant, so I removed it. But, in all sincerity. A person with cerebral palsy has a variance in life. It depends as well, what other illnesses or disabilities that accompany it. My sister has cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus, leaving her verbally limited, blind, and with the inability to walk. Doctors would estimate life spans, in this case 1-2 weeks. She is 23 years old now. There are many others I have encountered, but in reality. You cannot put a set time for them to live. They will carry on like the rest of us, but depending on the extremity of their illness, the length of time will be different.
Is cerebral palsy progressive?
No CP is a non-contagious, non-progressive, disorders that affect human development and result in physical disabilities. So, no it doesn't get any worse than it already is.
What is the importance of studying cerebral palsy?
Cerebral Palsy is most usually due to a birth injury to the baby's brain. If labour is difficult and the baby's brain is deprived of oxygen, part of the brain is damaged. If the baby has only had a short time with low oxygen, the cerebral palsy will be mild, but the longer the oxygen deprivation goes on, the worse the brain damage will be. With proper and careful care during labour and childbirth, the incidence of people with cerebral palsy should go down.Studying what happens to a human brain and the effects on the body and its function is important because people can acquire brain damage after birth. By studying what effect damage to different parts of the brain have on peoples bodies and functions, researchers can try to find ways of helping to overcome some of the patient's difficulties by developing drugs, surgeries and exercises such as physiotherapy.Acquired brain injuries can be caused by accidents, near drowning, poisoning, illnesses such as meningitis and encephalitis, strokes and the like.
How can cerebral palsy be managed?
Yes, CP can be extremely hard to detect in young children. It is usually picked up due to an infants inability to reciprocate with traditional motor milestones, such as walking and crawling. Some people with cerebral palsy can only suffer from slight muscle irregularities. On the other hand some infants with CP will have severe tonus (constant muscle contraction) at birth
How do you use the word worse in a sentence?
The manners of people requesting help are getting worse.
Is the problem getting better or worse?
Its getting worse because people are asking questions (like this one) which are meaningless. You see we have no idea what your "problem" is from the wording of your question. This issue with people seemingly being unable to articulate their requests in a cogent manner is getting worse and worse. It is my fear that each generation is getting more and more degenerate.
