Cerebral palsy is an umbrella term that generally refers to damage to the motor control centres of the developing brains of infants and children. Injury resulting in cerebral palsy can occur during pregnancy or childbirth. Cerebral palsy can also occur after birth up to about age three.
While improved medical care has decreased the number of cerebral palsy cases we see today, incidents still occur due to medical malpractice and negligence. Symptoms of cerebral palsy include muscle weakness, spasms, irregular posture, seizures, skeletal issues, and speech and language disorders. Often, infants’ symptoms are difficult to detect or they become more evident with time.
