Introduction
Up to 5,000 children in the United States are diagnosed with cerebral palsy every year.
In order to function, the brain needs a continuous supply of oxygen.
The brain may undergo irreversible damage if it does not get enough oxygen or blood.
People used to think that CP was due to injury during birth Now we know that CP can occur before birth, during birth, or in the first few months of life.
Diagnoses
Summary
Doctors diagnose cerebral palsy by testing motor skills and reflexes, looking into medical history, and using specialized tests.
Thanks to current advances in medicine, as well as laws created to help the disabled the lives of people with CP are easier and more productive than before.
Most patients with mild to moderate CP are able to lead very fruitful lives and enjoy a wide range of physical and intellectual activities!
