What are the early symptoms of Cerebral or Erbs Palsy?
Typically, early symptoms are of a developmental nature. Children with such an injury may be slow to crawl, walk, smile or roll over. The parents are normally the first to recognize the delay in development. The earliest symptom noticed by medical personnel will be a limp or paralyzed arm or lack of muscle control in the arm or hand. This symptom sometimes occurs while the child is still in the hospital.
