CP is a static neurological disorder with loss or impairment of motor function. It is the disorder of movement and posture. It is caused by brain damage.

Brain damage is caused by brain injury or abnormal development of the brain that occurs while a child’s brain is still developing — before birth, during birth, or immediately after.

CP affects body movement, muscle control & coordination, muscle tone, reflex, posture and balance. It can be identified by developmental delay, tightness of legs and hands, small head, early hand preference, excessive salivation etc.

CP is associated with feeding issues, epilepsy, constipation, vision and hearing impairment and learning issues.

First the confirmation of diagnosis by pediatric neurologist is of utmost important as other neurodevelopmental disorders may be mislabeled as CP.
A thorough history and complete neurological examination are most for all children. Brain imaging (eg MRI and CT brain) and EEG may be recommended on case to case basis to identify the area of brain damage.
The treatment includes combinations of physiotherapy, occupational therapy, medications to control seizures, spasticity, and feeding issues.
