Cerebral palsy (CP) results from a static brain lesion during pregnancy or early life and remains the most common cause of physical disability in children. Despite being an "old" name, it has not lost its usefulness if used as syndromic term that implies a thorough etiologic study and a therapeutic approach that includes multiple areas of intervention and coordinated work of specialists in order to achieve the maximum possible functionality, optimizing motor, intellectual, communication and social integration, considering that the degree of development of a society is measured by the care given to itsdisabled people.
Key words: Cerebral palsy, spastic cerebral palsy, dyskinetic cerebral palsy. |
