Cerebral Palsy (CP) acquired to 3 yrs
Cerebral Palsy (CP) spastic damage to motor cortex &/or pathways, variety of distributions, trunk tone varies (can be low), conforms poorly to surface/position, tone changes w/position, afraid to move, takes a lot of energy to move, poor balance & post adjust
Cerebral Palsy (CP) hypotonia precursor to other CP types in infant (can start hypotonic baby and end up spastic), total body, jt hypermob/sublux possible, no tone changes w/posture, frog-leg, UE ER & abd, poor head control, floppy head, perched on hyper ext neck, ring sitting
Cerebral Palsy (CP)athetoid: basal ganglia damage mm tone fluctuates thru out body, tone changes w/position, involuntary mvmt btw one extreme of ROM to another, writhing pattern, poor balance, can't stabilize mid ranges, poor nutrition, hi energy outpt, poor speech, amb hard & wide, walker or loftstrand

Cerebral Palsy (CP)GMFCS (gross motor function classification system)4th mostly WC
Cerebral Palsy (CP)GMFCS (gross motor function classification system)5th limited in all motor functions w/no Ind mob
Cerebral Palsy (CP)some associated probs mental or physical dev delay, persistent dev reflexes, seizures, sensory deficits (hypersensitivity, poor integration, deprivation)-spastic hem, ataxic, athetoid have normal/abv mental capacity. spastic quad, rigid have below normal. athetoid/hearing
Cerebral Palsy (CP)associate probs cont speech deficits, chewing, swallowing, gag reflex prob, may not be able to control behavior, contractures, hip probs, scoliosis, kyphosis, club ft, tibial torsion, mm atrophy, dental issues
