Back To Home

The brain controls all that we do. Different parts of  the brain control the movement of every muscle of  the body. In cerebral palsy, there is damage to, or lack  of development in, one of these areas of the brain.“Cerebral” – refers to the brain.“Palsy” – can mean weakness or paralysis or lack of muscle control. Therefore cerebral palsy is a disorder of muscle control
which results from some damage to part of the brain. The term cerebral palsy is used when the problem has occurred early in life, to the developing brain

Children with cerebral palsy can have problems such  as weakness, stiffness, awkwardness, slowness, shakiness, and difficulty with balance. These problems can range from mild to severe. In mild cerebral palsy, the child may be slightly clumsy in one arm or leg, and the problem may be barely noticeable. In severe cerebral palsy, the child may have a lot of difficulties in per-forming everyday tasks and movements.
