This article provides detailed information about cerebral palsy (CP), including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. Cerebral palsy is a neurological disease that occurs mainly in childhood and causes difficulties in controlling movements and maintaining balance. The development of the disease is influenced by various factors, such as perinatal injuries, lack of oxygen, infections, and sometimes genetic factors. The article details the main types of CP and their clinical symptoms, such as limitations in motor activity, muscle spasms, and difficulty walking. It also provides information on how the disease is diagnosed, including neurological tests, MRI and other imaging techniques. Various methods are used to treat CP, such as physical therapy, medications, and orthopedic aids. It also emphasizes the need to provide psychological support to families in helping children with the disease and supporting their development. Overall, the article gives a complete picture of the various aspects of cerebral palsy and ways to combat it.
