  • CEREBRAL PALSY SYMPTOMS

However, symptoms of cerebral palsy become more evident as a child grows and not all children will display the same signs and symptoms of the condition. Symptoms often depend on the type and severity of the cerebral palsy. The most common types of cerebral palsy include:

  • Spastic cerebral palsy: Most children diagnosed with cerebral palsy have this form of the condition. Spastic cerebral palsy is characterized by muscle spasms and stiffness that impair movement of the limbs. Sometimes only the limbs on one side of the body are affected, but in some instances, all four limbs may be impaired.
  • Athetoid cerebral palsy: This type of cerebral palsy causes abnormal movements such as twisting, jerking and slow, uncontrolled, writhing movements.
  • Ataxic cerebral palsy: A rare form of the condition, ataxic cerebral palsy makes balance and coordination difficult.
  • Mixed cerebral palsy: Children with mixed cerebral palsy may display signs and symptoms of more than one type of the condition.
