What is Cerebral (CP)?
Neural damage occurring during early fetal development has the most obvious effects on muscle control. Cerebral palsy is a condition characterized by motor dysfunction – uncoordinated muscle movement, or palsy. This motor dysfunction can be grouped descriptively into three types: spastic palsy (stiff movement), athetoid palsy (uncontrolled, involuntary movement), and ataxic palsy (loss of balance). Individuals with cerebral palsy often exhibit some combination of these motor problems.
