http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_palsy Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent movement problemsthat do not get worse over time. They cause physical disability,[1]mainly in the areas of body movement.[2] There may also be problems with sensation, depth perception, and communication ability. Difficulty with cognition and epilepsy are found in about one third of cases. There are subtypes including a type characterized by spasticity, a type characterized by poor coordination, and types which feature both symptoms or neither.
