📋Overview
Cerebral Palsy is a group of permanent movement and posture disorders caused by non-progressive disturbances in the developing fetal or infant brain. These neurological changes can impact muscle coordination and physical development during early childhood.
These conditions are characterized by impaired muscle tone, coordination, and motor skills, which often present alongside other neurological issues. Modern clinical understanding identifies the underlying brain injury or malformation as the primary cause of these persistent motor impairments.
