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…

These include pyramidal/spastic CP, the most common, and extrapyramidal/ non spastic CP (Duquette et al., 2015).…

patterns of movement, posture and regulation of muscle tone. Neurodevelopmental impairments affect adaptive and sensory functioning, learning, communication, behavior and even seizures. (Martin Bax, 2005) Cerebral Palsy is the most common childhood motor disability. (Data and Statistics for Cerebral Palsy, n.d.) The average prevalence of CP across threes ties was 3.3 per 1000. The prevalence was significantly higher in boys than in girls. The most common subtype across all three sites was…

Not only is the fact that we create written works important, but also what we put into those works. They are modes for the recording of information and the outlets for creative expression. The whole spectrum of…
