What is cerebral palsy?
Give this one a try later!
- Persistent challenges in learning complex motor skills. Generally identifiable early
and will persist into adolescence. (Strong correlation with Alcohol consumption
during pregnancy)
- Also called Dysproxia
- most common in boys
treated in a school setting
affects people into adulthood
- A birth defect in which a developing baby's spinal cord fails to develop properly.
- most common neural tube birth defect
- Caused by a failure of the neural tube to enclose around the spinal cord during
the first month of birth.
- Symptoms include trunk and leg paralysis
, - A permanent impairment affecting automatic postural control and movement
as a result of a non-progressive brain disorder
- usually present at birth
- caused by harm to the motor area of the brain before or after birth
cause: Maternal infection, oxygen deprivation, or fetal stroke.
- no cure, but is not progressive
treatments: muscle relaxants, PT, asstive devices
acquired neurological syndrome characterized by progressive deterioration in
intellectual functions, judgment, thinking, visuospatial skills, constructional abilities,
language, memory, emotions and behavior. A diagnosis usually requires the
