ABSTRACT

Cerebral palsy is a term used to represent a wide range of non-progressive motor disabilities caused by brain injury at or around birth. A lesion in the juvenile brain causes a disturbance of posture and movement. It is also known as static encephalopathy or little’s disease. It is a condition that arises as a result of CNS injury, which can occur before, during, or shortly after the child's birth. The impact will not intensify but will remain continuous. However, if correct care is not provided, the kid's condition may worsen, not because of an increase in brain lesions, but because the damaged brain is unable to cope with the physical demands of the growing body and the rising demands of the environment in which the child lives. The greatest method to ensure a child's optimum quality of life as they transition into adulthood is to actively address the symptoms of cerebral palsy.
