Spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy - what does this mean
Spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder caused by damage to the brain before, during, or shortly after birth. it is characterized by spasticity of the muscles, which results in impaired movement and coordination, as well as speech and language difficulties. it can also cause other physical and cognitive impairments.
What happens during the disease - spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy
Spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder caused by damage to the motor control centers of the brain, usually occurring before, during, or shortly after birth. this damage results in an inability of the brain to effectively control the movement of the body, leading to spasticity (involuntary muscle contractions), impaired coordination, and difficulty with activities of daily living. in some cases, this damage can be caused by genetic mutations, but more often it is caused by oxygen deprivation during labor and delivery, or other factors such as infection, trauma, or stroke.
