Description
The term cerebral palsy refers not to a specific disease
entity, but rather to a group of conditions with variable severity that has certain developmental features in
common. The formal definition, delineated by an international panel in the mid2000s, is as follows: “Cerebral
palsy describes a group of permanent disorders of the
development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, that are attributed to nonprogressive
disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or
infant brain. The motor disorders of cerebral palsy are
often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition, communication and behaviour, by epilepsy and by secondary musculoskeletal problems”. The nuances of this definition are parsed in more detail
