Types Of Cerebral Palsy That You Should Contact a Cerebral Palsy Attorney For
Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder that affects body movement, motor skills, and muscle control. A child with cerebral palsy may struggle to control their bladder or bowels, or may have trouble performing simple tasks such as eating or standing still. There are three different types of cerebral palsy, including:
- Spastic: This type of cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the motor cortex area of the brain. Children with spastic cerebral damage will experience muscle stiffness and may have difficulty controlling their movements.
- Athetoid: Children with athetoid cerebral palsy have suffered damage to the basal ganglia. This type of cerebral palsy is characterized by involuntary movements and loss of coordination skills.
- Ataxic: If the cerebellum has been damaged, your child may be diagnosed with ataxic cerebral palsy, which leads to coordination issues and poor depth perception.
It’s important to note that every case of cerebral palsy is unique, so your child may exhibit symptoms that vary from those listed above. It’s possible that your child could have sustained damage to multiple parts of their brain, and therefore may have a combination of two or more of these types of cerebral palsy.
