Cerebral palsy is a group of neurological disorders. It is diagnosed during infancy or childhood and it permanently affects the body movements and the muscle coordinations. Cerebral palsy is caused by many disorders inside the brain during the development that stops the brain’s ability to control motor movements.
Cerebral palsy (CP) affects the motor function of the brain’s outer layer of cerebral cortex that directs muscle movement. And the cerebral motor cortex of the fetal is unable to developed normally. Therefore, the damage from injuries to the brain could be before, during, or after the infant in born. Those damages are not repairable and disabilities are permanent.
Symptoms of CP in children:
No muscle coordination when performing …show more content…
Symptoms vary greatly among individuals. All people affected with cerebral palsy have problems with movement, posture and balance. Some of them have intellectually slower, frequent seizures, and abnormal physical and other medical disorders. They may also have impaired vision or hearing, and speech problems. Research shows that CP is the leading cause of childhood disabilities. While some children with severe CP may be unable to walk and need extra attention, lifelong care, another children with mild CP might be slightly awkward and require little to no special assistance. Cerebral Palsy isn’t progressive, however, as the child ages certain symptoms may become more or less evident.
There is no known cure for cerebral palsy, but there are treatments, therapy, medications, and surgery that can help CP individuals improve their ability to interact with the world as normal …show more content…
These gaps or spaces in the tissue of the brain interfere with the transmission of signals. Interruptions of the process of brain growth during development will cause brain malformation that will interfere with transmission of brain signals. Infections, fevers, accidents, or other conditions that cause unhealthy conditions in the mother's womb also put the unborn baby’s nervous system at risk. Blood inside the brain from blocked or broken blood vessels is caused by fetal stroke. It is common for babies to suffer stroke in the mother's womb when blood clots in the placenta obstruct blood flow in the brain. Maternal high blood pressure is a common medical problem during pregnancy and is more common in babies with a fetal stroke. Maternal infections, or pelvic inflammatory disease, has also been proven to raise the risk of fetal stroke. Lack of enough oxygen in the fetal brain during labor and delivery if the supply of oxygen is cut off for a lengthy period of time, rupture of the uterus, detachment of placenta, or problems with the umbilical cord, or severe trauma to the head of the infant during labor and delivery.
