Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that affect movement and posture due to brain damage, usually before birth. It causes problems with muscle movements, tone, and posture, affecting abilities like walking. There are four main types depending on which limbs are affected: monoplegia, hemiplegia, diplegia, quadriplegia. While there is no cure, treatment through physical therapy, medication, and surgery can improve quality of life. Prevention efforts focus on maintaining health before and during pregnancy through vaccination, prenatal care, and safe practices after birth like car seats.
