Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent movement disorders that appear in early childhood. It is caused by damage to the developing brain, typically before or during birth, but it can also occur during the first few years of a child's life. The condition affects a person's ability to control their muscles and can cause a range of physical and cognitive impairments.

Cerebral palsy is caused by a variety of factors that interfere with normal brain development. These can include prenatal factors such as infections, maternal health issues, or fetal brain abnormalities. It can also be caused by complications during labor and delivery, as well as postnatal factors like infections or brain injuries in early childhood.
