Cerebral Palsy is a group of disorders of movement and posture resulting from injury or malformation to the developing central nervous system. There are many causes for Cerebral Palsy, with onset ranging from preconception to an arbitrary point such as 24 months of age. The neurologic impairment is non-progressive, although secondary disability can occur. Characteristics of cerebral palsy change with developmental stages, especially in the first few years of life. This impairment and resultant disability are both permanent.
