Cerebral palsy loosely means brain paralysis and actually refers to a wide range of disorders. CP affects the areas of the brain that control muscle tone and motor activity. The severity of the presenting symptoms of CP varies widely from mild to profound.
CP involves difficulty controlling muscles and can also include problems with balance, coordination, walking, speech, swallowing and, in serious cases, mental retardation, breathing, bladder and bowel control, eating difficulties and even hearing and vision problems.
Disorders associated with cerebral palsy are not due to any problems with the muscles or nerves. Impaired motor areas in the brain cause these problems. The affected regions of the brain disrupt its ability to control movement and posture. The condition is typically noticeable within the first few years of life. It does not get worse with time, but it does make life difficult for patients and their families.
Parents are often clueless as to the causes of their child's cerebral palsy. In most cerebral palsy diagnoses, the direct causes for the birth injury will never be known. This makes it very difficult to hold a person or institution responsible. Pinpointing the cause will not undo the damage that has already been done. However, if compensation is granted, it will help the affected family deal with the lifelong medical costs associated with the illness.
