Cerebral (referring to the cerebrum, the affected area of ​​the brain) palsy (meaning paralysis) is a group of disorders that can affect the functions of the brain and nervous system, such as learning, thinking, vision, hearing and movement. There are numerous different types of cerebral palsy, but only the following four will be discussed: spastic, dyskinetic, ataxic, and hypotonic. Patients with cerebral palsy do not have extremity deformities at birth but develop them over time. Cerebral palsy is generally caused by damage to the brain, which can occur before, during, or after birth. Centrally recognized causes of damage include infection in early pregnancy, lack of oxygen to the brain, and uneven improvement of the brain. Some danger factors that increase the likelihood of brain damage include a complex or early birth, a maternal age less than 20 or more than 40, large births, and low birth weight. Spastic cerebral palsy, also known as “muscle stiffness,” is one of them. of the most common types of general cerebral palsy, occurring in 90% of all cases according to the Society for Cerebral Palsy in Europe (SCPE) People with spastic type cerebral palsy/spasticity are hypertonicDiaz-Godfrey 2Source: File: Osmotic Pressure on blood cell diagram.svg - https://en.wikipedia.org appear with a very stiff and narrow sheet of paper……g”, due to the child's inability to lift his head while being pulled by the arms into a sitting position. Children with severe hypertonicity probably have the most difficulty of all children with cerebral palsy in achieving milestones in motor skills and normal mental progress. Like other hypotonic cerebral palsy, it is caused by damage to the brain, which normally occurs while the baby is still in the womb, the symptoms of hypertonia are similar to the movement of an average rag doll. Similarly in other manifestations of cerebral palsy, hypotonic cerebral palsy is not dynamic and damage to the brain does not intensify with time. On the other hand, numerous sufferers find that their symptoms worsen with time as they continue to lose muscle tone. Additionally, hyptonic cerebral palsy is not infectious, as it is not caused by bacteria or infection.
