Cerebral palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) describes a group of conditions characterised by the onset of persistent motor impairment at a very young age. Abnormal reflexes, flaccidity or rigidity of the limbs and trunk, abnormal posture, involuntary movements, unsteady walking, and so on are all common symptoms of cerebral palsy. When certain regions of the brain are damaged, it can have an effect on either voluntary or involuntary movement, or both. Because it is not a progressive condition, cerebral palsy does not worsen with time or spread to other people. Over time, some people report a reduction in their symptoms.
