    Pathophysiology of Cerebral Palsy

    Uploaded by

    Marion Mendez
    Cerebral palsy is caused by injury or abnormal development of the brain that occurs before, during, or after birth. This can result from various factors like infection, genetic conditions, or head injuries. The lack of oxygen supply or nutrients to the developing brain can lead to impairment of motor function controlled by different areas of the brain. Depending on the affected area, cerebral palsy presents as either ataxic, athetoid, or spastic - each with their own characteristic motor symptoms.
