CEREBRAL PALSY Introduction Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common congenital disorders of childhood. It is a medical condition caused by a permanent brain injury that occurs before (Prenatal)‚ during (Perinatal)‚ or shortly after birth (Postnatal). Thus the malformation of the brain can exist at birth or caused by factors occurring during the birthing process or after. Cerebral palsy is a non- progressive disease; however‚ the effects have been known to change over time. This non curable

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a condition that affects thousands of people each year. An estimated 764‚000 children and adults are afflicted with one or more symptoms of CP. Around 8‚000 infants and babies are diagnosed each year and 1‚200-1‚500 preschool age children are recognized with symptoms of CP (www.ucp.org). This condition is caused by “abnormal development of areas of the brain that control movement and posture” (www.ucp.org). It can also be caused by damage to the brain (usually because

Cerebral palsy encompasses a group of conditions that are caused by problems in brain development. Disturbances in the brain usually occur during fetal or infant brain development and effects movement and motor control in children (Lisovska‚ 2016). The cerebral cortex‚ which is the part of the brain responsible for directing muscle movement‚ is damaged and cerebral palsy thus develops. Cerebral palsy can be classified into four types which are made distinct because of its location and abnormality

Cerebral laterization and sex differences in intelligence and visuospatial processing Cerebral lateralization can be defined as “the functional specialization of the two cerebral hemispheres” (Groen‚ Whitehouse‚ Badcock & Bishop‚ 2012‚ p. 257). In this section general intelligence and visuospatial processing concerning cerebral lateralization and sex differences are discussed. Cerebral laterization of intelligence may have an effect on one hemisphere‚ sometimes both‚ depending on how general abilities

Cerebral Palsy Causes Cerebral palsy results from damage to certain parts of the developing brain. •This damage can occur early in pregnancy when the brain is just starting to form‚ during the birth process as the child passes through the birth canal‚ or after birth in the first few years of life. •In many cases‚ the exact cause of the brain damage is never known. At one time‚ problems during birth‚ usually inadequate oxygen‚ were blamed for cerebral palsy. •We now know that fewer than
