The damage to the brain is permanent and cannot be cured but the earlier we start with intervention the more improvement can be made.Any non-progressive central nervous system (CNS) injury occurring during the first 2 (some say 5) years of life is considered to be CP. There are several definitions of CP within the literature, although these may all vary slightly in the way they are worded they are all similar and can be summarised to: Cerebral Palsy is a group of permanent, but not unchanging, disorders of movement and/or posture and of motor function, which are due to a non-progressive interference, lesion, o...

The child with cerebral palsy can present after failing to meet expected developmental milestones or failing to suppress obligatory primitive reflexes. The 2003 American Academy of Neurology (AAN) practice parameter suggests screening for the following potential cerebral palsy–associated deficits at the initial assessment: [ • The diagnosis begins with a history of gross motor developmental delay in the first year of life. Cerebral palsy frequently manifests as early hypotonia for the first 6 months to 1 year of life, followed by spasticity. Abnormal muscle tone is the most frequently observed symptom. The child may present as either hypotonic or, more commonly, hypertonic with either decreased or increased resistance to passive movements, respectively. Children with cerebral palsy may have an early period of hypotonia followed by hypertonia. The longer the period of hypotonia before hypertonia, the greater the likelihood that the hypertonia will be more severe. Perinatal history The perinatal history should include the child's gestational age (ie, degree of prematurity) at birth, presentation of the child and delivery type, birth weight, Apgar score, and complications in the neonatal period (eg, intubation time, presence of intracranial hemorrhage on neonatal ultrasonogram, feeding difficulties, apnea, bradycardia, infection, and hyperbilirubinemia). The age at which gross motor milestones are achieved in typically developing children include head control at age 2 months,...

What Teachers Should Know Cerebral palsy (CP) affects muscle tone, movement, and motor skills (the ability to move in a coordinated and purposeful way). CP is usually caused by brain damage that happens before or during a child's birth, or during the first few years of life.Cerebral palsy is one of the most common congenital childhood disorders. How CP affects each person depends on which part or parts of the brain are involved. Some people have only mild impairment, while others are severely affected. For example, brain damage can be limited, affecting only the part of the brain that controls walking, or it can be more extensive, affecting muscle control of the entire body. Although CP doesn't get progressively worse, how it affects a person's body can change as children grow and develop. Because bullies often target students who seem "different," health conditions like CP can put kids and teens at higher risk for bullying. Kids and teens with CP may: • have learning disabilities, • • need help moving around in class or reaching things • need assistive devices for writing and speaking • have difficulty sitting still and have uncontrolled movements • have • have seizures • need occupational therapy (OT), physical therapy (PT), and speech therapy during the school day What Teachers Can Do Students with CP may need a little more time to travel between classes and complete activities and tasks. Make sure your classroom is easy to get around and free of obstacles. Students wit...

Overview What is cerebral palsy? Cerebral palsy (CP) is caused by an injury to the immature brain that causes a disorder of movement and posture. It can occur before or during childbirth, or in their first two years of life. Children and adults with cerebral palsy have problems moving, controlling and coordinating their muscles. Some people with cerebral palsy also have intellectual disabilities, seizures and difficulties seeing or hearing. Although there is no cure, healthcare providers can reduce symptoms with therapy, medications and surgery. How common is cerebral palsy? Cerebral palsy is the most common motor disability in kids in the United States. Of every 1,000 babies born in the U.S. every year, between 1 and 4 have cerebral palsy. Boys are slightly more likely to get CP, and the condition is more common among multiples. Babies born prematurely or with a low birth weight have a higher risk of CP. What are the types of cerebral palsy? Cerebral palsy is classified in two ways – what parts of the body are most affected, and what movement disorder is most prominent. There are four types of The types of cerebral palsy are: • Spastic cerebral palsy: Around 75% of people with CP have spastic cerebral palsy. People with spastic CP have stiff, tight muscles that contract uncontrollably. Their movements, including walking and talking, may appear jerky due to muscle • Dyskinetic cerebral palsy: Also known as athetoid cerebral palsy, this type of CP causes irregular movements...

The classification system aims to facilitate diagnosis, clinical decision-making, and effective communication among healthcare professionals • Spastic Hemiplegia / Unilateral CP: In spastic hemiplegia, the most widely accepted gait classification system was introduced by Winters et al. (1987) • Bilateral Spastic CP: Gait classification systems for children with bilateral lower limb spasticity have also been developed. However, there are limitations to their clinical relevance and applicability in ortho...
