Cerebral palsy is a broad term describing a group
of nonprogressive disorders of posture and movement. The
cause of CP is multifactorial, usually attributed to events
during early brain development, and producing life-long
lesions and anomalies.1 The brain lesions manifest as secondary
motor impairments, ranging from mild to severe,
and may also affect sensation, cognition, communication,
and/or behavior. The most common features are decreased
muscle strength and abnormal muscle tone.
