What is the leading cause of cerebral palsy in children?
Cerebral palsy (CP) is caused by brain injuries or abnormalities before, during, or shortly after birth. Possible causes include infections, strokes, genetic diseases, and medical issues during pregnancy.
What are the signs of cerebral palsy in babies?
Cerebral palsy (CP) symptoms in infants can range from minor to severe and typically occur during infancy or preschool. Symptoms include slow progress towards developmental milestones, abnormal muscle tone, abnormal posture, difficulty in synchronising body motions, swallowing or drooling uncontrollably, difficulty feeding, muscle spasms, and difficulty maintaining equilibrium. These symptoms can lead to developmental delays, weak arms or legs, and difficulty in swallowing, drooling, or feeding.
Can a child with cerebral palsy talk?
When a child has cerebral palsy (CP), it can be challenging for them to communicate verbally since the condition can make it difficult to regulate the muscles in their face, throat, neck, and head. Speech therapy can enhance children's communication abilities and enable them to participate more fully in the world.
Is cerebral palsy curable?
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a non-progressive disorder that cannot be cured, but specific therapies can help individuals become more independent and active. Some symptoms may improve as children age, indicating potential improvement.
