Description

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a major cause of neonatal and childhood disability and is closely linked to pregnancy and perinatal period. CP is a group of developmental movement or posture disorders, which are due to non-progressive damage to the developing brain and lead to reduced activity and other nervous system functions such as learning, hearing, seeing, and thinking. This article deals with the epidemiology, etiology, risk factors, diagnosis and prevention of CP.
