What is a Spasticity? Spasticity is a motor disorder characterized by a velocity-dependent increase in tonic stretch reflexes with exaggerated tendon reflexes, resulting from hyper excitability of the stretch , as one factor of the upper motor neuron syndrome. Spasticity is loss in muscle movement patterns so that muscles contract all at once. Muscle movements…
Introduction:- Mixed cerebral palsy occurs when a baby is experiencing symptoms of many types of cerebral palsy at once, a group of neurological impairments that affect motor and overdeveloping functional skills. Because baby diagnosed with mixed cerebral palsy may have brain damage in more than one area of the brain, this form of cerebral palsy…
What is an Athetoid cerebral palsy? Athetoid cerebral palsy, or dyskinetic cerebral palsy, is a type of cerebral palsy associated with injury, like other forms of Cerebral Palsy, to the basal ganglia in the form of lesions that happens during brain development due to bilirubin encephalitic pathology and hypoxic-ischemic head injury. Unlike other types of…
Introduction:- Dystonic cerebral palsy, also termed to as dystonia, causes involuntary muscle contractions which results in to involuntary movements that affect either one part of the body or the whole body. Dystonic CP is a kind of dyskinetic cerebral palsy. There is no permanent cure for it, but several treatment options are available, including sensory…
What is a Spastic Cerebral Palsy? Spastic cerebral palsy is the type of cerebral palsy characterized by spasticity of muscle or hypertonicity (high muscle tone) often resulting in stiff, jerky movements. Spastic cerebral palsy influence the motor cortex of the brain, a specific portion of the cerebral cortex which targets to the planning and completion…
What’s cerebral palsy? Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of disorders that affect a person’s ability to do movement and maintain balance and posture. CP is the most common motor disability in childhood. The cerebral word means brain, and palsy means weakness or struggling with using the muscles. CP is caused by inappropriate brain development…
