Cerebral palsy is a group of neurological conditions that affect movement, muscles tone and posture, that is mainly due to damage to a child’s brain during foetal development.
The symptoms of cerebral palsy may vary during the child’s development, but the condition doesn’t get worse and generally stays the same over time.
The cause of cerebral palsy and its effect on bodily functions vary from person to person.
The main effect of Cerebral Palsy is that it disrupts control of muscles movement.
