Abstract

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a group of permanent disorder of movement and posture causing limitation of activity, attributable to non-progressive disturbance that occurred in developing fetal or infant brain often accompanied by disturbance of sensation, perception, cognition, communication and behaviour, epilepsy and secondary musculoskeletal problems. CP results from permanent single time insult to the developing brain. Though the insult itself is non progressive, manifestations changes due to natural progression.
