Description

The term cerebral palsy refers not to a specific disease entity, but rather to a group of conditions with variable severity that has certain developmental features in common.

The motor disorders of cerebral palsy are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition, communication and behaviour, by epilepsy and by secondary musculoskeletal problems”.
