Understanding Cerebral Palsy

There are four major categories of cerebral palsy:
- Spastic cerebral palsy is the most common form. Spastic cerebral palsy is marked by impairment to the mobility because of a lesion in the brain that affects neuromuscular function.
- The second type of cerebral palsy is ataxic cerebral palsy, which is caused by damage to the cerebellum and results in problems with balance, tremors, and hypotonia, as well as vision and hearing problems.
- Another type is athetoid or dyskinetic cerebral palsy. Athetoid cerebral palsy has mixed muscle tone and results in motor control problems, mobility problems, and involuntary movement.
- The last type of cerebral palsy is a mixed form, which can include elements of spastic cerebral palsy, ataxic cerebral palsy, and athetoid cerebral palsy.
What can cause cerebral palsy during birth?
Many different types of medical malpractice or obstetric negligence can cause cerebral palsy. It can be caused by trauma during the birth process, such as negligent removal with forceps or vacuum. It can also be caused by hypoxia, where the child was deprived of oxygen in their blood during the delivery. Both premature infants and multiple births are more susceptible to cerebral palsy.
