Many cases of cerebral palsy are the result of medical negligence. It could be due to inadequate care during pregnancy, problems during birth, or other occurrences.
Causes
There is no cure for CP however early diagnosis and treatment may improve the abilities of a child. Doctors can diagnose CP by looking at the muscle tone of a child and coordination. They may refer the child to specialists such as pediatric neurologists, pediatric orthopedists, and physiatrists. These specialists can assist in managing symptoms and improve quality of life.
Everyone suffers from cerebral palsy in different ways. It can be mild, with a minimal effect on a child's ability function, or severe enough to cause physical impairments throughout the body. The signs include head that is floppy (floppy neck), muscles that are stiff or uncontrolled, difficulty walking or having problems with speech and other functions. If a child only has cerebral palsy on one side of the body, it's referred to as hemiplegia. If it occurs on both sides, it's known as diplegia. In severe cases, CP can result in a locked-in (spastic) condition with muscle spasticity that restricts an individual's movements and leads to difficulties in speaking and eating.
The occurrence of medical errors during childbirth is a leading cause of CP. Doctors, midwives and nurses must be cautious when delivering babies since brain damage can cause serious harm. If a medical mistake causes oxygen deprivation or other brain injury that causes cerebral palsy, the doctor could be held accountable for negligence.

A delay in milestones such as sitting, rolling over, walking, or crawling can be an indication of CP. Children suffering from CP may also have trouble swallowing and may require a feeding device.
Several factors can contribute to the development of an injury to the brain that causes CP and other conditions, such as rubella, cytomegalovirus, or toxoplasmosis in the womb, high blood pressure during pregnancy, and genetic predisposition. A severe lack of oxygen to the brain (asphyxia) during labor or delivery is a major reason for CP as is the occurrence of bleeding in the brain caused by blood vessels that are damaged or blocked.
Depending on the form of cerebral palsy, symptoms may vary from mild to severe. Spastic cerebral palsy (characterized by stiff muscles) is the most commonly encountered type. Dyskinetic cerebral palsy (also known as choreoathetoid or athetoid) involves uncontrolled and slow writhing movements of the legs, arms and the body. Other types of CP could include ataxic cerebral palsy, which is characterized by a shaky motion, or paraplegic cerebral palsy in which the arms and legs are affected.
Treatment
The specific symptoms of cerebral palsy differ, the majority of people suffering from the condition are required to deal with stiffness and loss of muscle control. They may also be struggling with coordination and balance. The type of movement problem that they suffer from is dependent on the brain region that was injured and the extent of the injury.
Many people with CP need special physical therapy that can improve their mobility, tone of muscles, and stretch their joints and muscles. It can also help relieve discomfort and prevent contractures. It can include exercises, special braces, or other treatments.
CP is characterized by musculoskeletal disorders such as patella alta and hip dysplasia. Scoliosis and cervical stenosis are also common. These conditions can cause major issues in mobility, which reduces the life expectancy of patients.
Speech and therapy for language are a way to help children who are not able to communicate effectively. This can help children learn new ways to communicate and may include sign language, a communication board or voice synthesizers.
