It is a common congenital condition, where the child presents with musculoskeletal and cognitive problems, caused by injury to the immature brain.

Cerebral Palsy, also known as CP, is a term used to identify children who are born with physical disabilities, many times due to lack of oxygen at birth, for some reason. Most people with CP have many difficulties from birth. Their speech may be affected as well as their ability to walk properly, sometimes their vision is affected. Developmental milestones are delayed, and many use walkers or wheelchairs to get around. They also may have "spastic" movements of the arms and legs, sometimes unable to control the muscles. Some kids with CP are very disabled, while others may be quite smart, but unable to express themselves. Whenever you meet a person in a wheelchair who does not have total control of speech or legs and arms, DON'T treat them like they are retarded or stupid and don't know what you are saying. You would be very surprised at how smart and capable that a person is. NEVER underestimate someone, and act like they are not there. They are there, but they may not be able to voice their feelings.
Spastic CP is the most common form of CP
It occurs due to injury in the pyramidal system and usually presents with hypertonia, rigidity, exaggerated tendon reflexes and persistence of primitive reflexes - usually presents with tonus, which is constant contraction of a muscle - symptoms can range from mild to completely debilitating
Is a congenital condition that occurs before, during or after birth and it is caused by alack of oxygen to the child's brain which can damage the brain. That damage affects the child's motor skills.With variable degrees of severity can vary from very little noticeable physical limitations to the extent that the child can't move, walk or feed himself.
Cerebral Palsy is the general term used for a set of chronic neurological disorders that hinder muscle control.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a disorder that affects muscle tone, movement, and motor skills (the ability to move in a coordinated and purposeful way). Cerebral palsy can also lead to other health issues, including vision, hearing, and speech problems, and learning disabilities.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of disorders that affect a person's ability to move and maintain balance and posture. CP is the most common motor disability in childhood. Cerebral means having to do with the brain. Palsy means weakness or problems with using the muscles.

There are many possible causes of ataxic gait. Such causes include multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, stroke, head trauma, and even chicken pox complications.

Type your answer here... Spastic cerebral palsy with a percentage of 80% of all cerebral palsy cases.
Some symptoms of spastic cerebral palsy are muscle stiffness, uncontrolled movements, and problems with posture. It can, also impair other functions such as coordination, balance, speech, and swallowing.
Would you care to buy a verb?
Being diagnosed as a spastic quadriplegic is considered to be the most severe from of cerebral palsy due to the fact the condition affects all four limbs (both arms and legs).
