Cerebral palsy affects muscle movements but is not caused by problems in the muscles or nerves, it is caused by abnormalities inside the brain which disrupt the brain's ability to control posture and movement. Cerebral palsy is usually diagnosed before a child is three years old. Cerebral palsy is not curable, but treatments can help improve symptoms and capabilities.
According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, in most cases of cerebral palsy there is no single, obvious cause. Complications during labor and birth account for approximately 10 percent of cerebral palsy cases.
Cerebral palsy can occur if the cerebral motor cortex has not developed normally during fetal growth. Other causes of cerebral palsy is a result of injury to the brain before, during, or after birth. This damage is not repairable and disabilities are permanent.
