What is Cerebral Palsy?
Cerebral palsy is a general term encompassing a group of disorders that affect the ability of a person to coordinate body movements and maintain balance. Cerebral palsy does not occur due to problems with muscles or nerves themselves, rather it is the result of damage to the section of the brain that controls muscle tone and movement. The damage to the brain can occur during the development of the fetus, during the birth of the child, or within a short period of time after the child is born. It is estimated that between 15-20 cases of cerebral palsy develop out of every 10,000 births in the United States. Overall, there are approximately 500,000 people in the United States who have cerebral palsy.
