Cerebral palsy (CP) is a coordination and muscle movement disorder. Cerebral palsy have different affects on people. It can affect body movement, muscle coordination, muscle control, muscle reflect, posture and balance. It is caused by an injury in the part that control body movement in a child’s brain. People with cerebral palsy can have other problems such as seizures, decreased the ability of learning, problems hearing, seeing, and thinking. There is no cure has been discovered for cerebral palsy, but early diagnosis and treatment can greatly improve the quality of life expectancy. There are three main types of Cerebral palsy spastic, dyskinetic and ataxic.
First, spastic cerebral palsy is the most common type of cerebral palsy. Spastic cerebral palsy is a form of hypertonia, or it refers to increased tone, or tension, in a muscle. Normally, muscles must have enough tone to maintain posture or movement against the force of gravity while at the same time providing flexibility and speed of movement. When people without cerebral palsy perform a movement, some groups of muscles turn on and some groups of muscles turn off. The muscles of people with spastic cerebral palsy appear stiff and their movements may look stiff and jerky. The second type …show more content…
people with cerebral palsy may have lots of problems and disability. There is no cure, but early diagnosis can help improving the life. cerebral palsy is identified by learning about its categories such as spastic, dyskinetic, and ataxic. Spastic is the most common one, and the ataxic is the least common one. Spastic caused by increased muscles tone, so the movements appear stiff. Indeed, dyskinetic make the movements uncontrolled. However, People with ataxia have a disorganised movement. Cerebral palsy is a disease that we need to be aware
