Cerebral palsy is a group of neurological disorders that affect movement and coordination. It is caused by damage to the developing brain, often occurring before or during birth, or during early childhood.

The exact cause of cerebral palsy is not fully understood, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Symptoms of cerebral palsy can vary widely and may include muscle stiffness, tremors, and difficulty with fine motor skills, as well as intellectual disability and seizures.

There is no cure for cerebral palsy, but treatment can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Treatment may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to improve motor skills and communication abilities.

In some cases, medications may be used to manage symptoms such as muscle spasticity. Surgery may also be recommended to improve mobility or correct structural abnormalities. With appropriate treatment and support, individuals with cerebral palsy can lead fulfilling lives and achieve their full potential.
