Zusammenfassung:	Cerebral palsy is a term that describes nonprogressive but sometimes changing disorders of movement and posture. These movement problems are due to problems in brain function that occur early in development. Cerebral palsy affects motion, muscle strength, balance, and coordination. These problems are first noted in infancy and continue into adult life. Here, Torpy discusses its types, the risk factors for developing cerebral palsy and its medical diagnosis and treatment.
