PRO 27 : Cerebral Palsy / Autism

Causes:

• Brain Damage: Cerebral palsy is caused by abnormal development or damage to the parts of the brain that control movement, balance, and posture, often occurring before, during, or shortly after birth.
• Prenatal Factors: Factors that can contribute to brain damage before birth include maternal infections (such as rubella or cytomegalovirus), maternal health conditions (such as thyroid disorders or high blood pressure), exposure to toxins or medications, genetic abnormalities, or complications during pregnancy or delivery.
• Perinatal Factors: Problems during labor and delivery, such as birth asphyxia (lack of oxygen to the brain), premature birth, low birth weight, or trauma during delivery, can increase the risk of cerebral palsy.

Symptoms:

• Motor Impairments: Cerebral palsy affects movement and muscle coordination, leading to difficulties with fine motor skills (such as grasping objects) and gross motor skills (such as walking or sitting).
• Muscle Tone Abnormalities: Children with cerebral palsy may experience muscle stiffness (hypertonia), muscle rigidity, or involuntary movements (spasticity) that can affect mobility and posture.
• Delayed Milestones: Delays in reaching developmental milestones, such as rolling over, sitting up, crawling, or walking, may be observed.
• Abnormal Reflexes: Children with cerebral palsy may exhibit abnormal reflexes, such as persistent primitive reflexes (like the Moro reflex) beyond infancy.
• Coordination Difficulties: Poor coordination and balance may result in unsteady gait, difficulty with hand-eye coordination, or challenges with tasks requiring precise movements.
