Cerebral palsy (CP)

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological condition that affects movement, muscle tone, and posture. It is caused by damage to the developing brain, often before or during birth. CP varies in severity, with symptoms including muscle stiffness, difficulty with coordination, and challenges in speech or mobility. While it is a lifelong condition, therapies like physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy can improve quality of life. Early intervention and supportive care are key to helping individuals with CP achieve their full potential and lead fulfilling lives.
