Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a disorder of movement and posture that appears during infancy or early childhood resulting from damage to the brain. The damage to the brain is permanent and cannot be cured but the earlier we start with intervention the more improvement can be made. Any non-progressive central nervous system (CNS) injury occurring during the first 2 (some say 5) years of life is considered to be CP.Cerebral Palsy is a group of permanent, but not unchanging, disorders of movement and/or posture and of motor function, which are due to a non-progressive interference, lesion, or abnormality of the developing/immature brain.Cerebral Palsy is the most common motor disability in childhood. The etiology of Cerebral Palsy is very diverse and multifactorial. The causes are congenital, genetic, inflammatory, infectious, anoxic, traumatic and metabolic. The injury to the developing brain may be prenatal, natal or postnatal. As much as 75%-80% of the cases are due to prenatal injury with less than 10% being due to significant birth trauma or asphyxia. The most important risk factor seems to be prematurity and low birth weight with risk of Cerebral Palsy increasing with decreasing gestational age and birth weight. Population-based studies from around the world report prevalence estimates of Cerebral Palsy ranging from 1.5 to more than 4 per 1,000 live births or children of a defined age range.
