Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is a condition that results in movement and posture-related physical disability. In addition, there may be secondary conditions such as sensory or cognition disorders. These cerebral palsy symptoms are most often the result of damage to the fetus's developing brain. The most common type of cerebral palsy is spastic diplegia (the other two types are ataxic and athetoid or dyskinetic). The following articles describe these conditions, plus information about the most recent advances in cerebral palsy treatment and research.
