Cerebral palsy is a group of neurological disorders. This condition negatively impacts the communication between the brain and the muscles, causing a permanent state of uncoordinated movement and posturing. Several problems, such as lack of oxygen to the brain, genetic conditions, infections, brain hemorrhage, severe cases of jaundice, and injury to the head can cause CP. Some other risk factors of cerebral palsy are:
- Prematurity
- Blood clotting disorders
- Very low birth weight (especially in babies weighing less than 1.5kg)
- Viruses
- Chemical/substance abuse during pregnancy
- Infection
- Bleeding in the brain
- Trauma
- Complications of labor and delivery
