Cerebral
Palsy (CP) is a term used to describe
a group of disorders affecting body movement
and muscle coordination. The medical
definition of cerebral palsy is a "non-progressive"
but not unchanging disorder of movement
and/or posture, due to an insult to or anomaly
of the developing brain. Development of
the brain starts in early pregnancy and
continues until about age three.

Damage to the brain during this time may result
in cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is not contagious,
hereditary, or life threatening.
Damage to the brain interferes with messages
to the body and vice versa. There are varying
degrees of Cerebral Palsy that affects
individuals differently. The slightly awkward
movements and awkward hand control may be
observed in someone with a lesser degree of
Cerebral Palsy. Severe cases of Cerebral Palsy
may result in virtually no muscle control
and very affected movement and speech.
Different areas of the brain can be damaged
that can cause muscle tightness or spasms,
involuntary movement, difficulty with gross
motor skills, such as walking or running,
difficulty with fine motor skills, such as
writing or dressing, and difficulty in perception
and sensation. These problems can then affect
other things, like feeding, bladder and bowel
control, breathing, and pressure sores. The
damage to the brain that caused the cerebral
palsy can also lead to seizures, learning
disabilities, or developmental delays.
Cerebral Palsy is the result of damage
to the brain. The damage has already occurred
and it does not get worse. People with Cerebral
Palsy do not continue to worsen in condition
because of this reason, but the effects of
Cerebral Palsy can change. While some people
can improve their condition, others may get
worse.
