Cerebral Palsy and Foundational Correction
Cerebral palsy (CP) is more than one condition. The term cerebral palsy describes a group of conditions sharing similar symptoms. It is a neurological condition that usually shows up during infancy, leading to body movement and muscle coordination issues. The symptoms of cerebral palsy may be due to brain damage or abnormalities that affect the child’s ability to maintain the correct posture, balance, or movement.
Does cerebral palsy have specific symptoms? If yes, what are they? Can the nervous system function be improved? Is there a way to restore the body’s ability to control the muscles? We’ll learn about this and more in this article.
What is cerebral palsy?
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of conditions that affect the muscles' coordination and movement. In most cases, hearing, sensation, and vision are affected.
When you hear the word cerebral, what comes to your mind? Well, the cerebral refers to the brain. “Palsy,” on the other hand, means “problems” with the movement of the body or “weakness.”
Most childhood motor disabilities are caused by cerebral palsy. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report shows that 1.5–4 of every 1000 children are affected by this condition globally.
