definition on cerebral palsy...i am sure i am not the best here and i also
speak spanish better than english,but i want to help!
"CP is the result of a dammage in brain development, non progresive, and
that begun during early age. The motor injury shows us abnormal patterns of
movements in association with abnormal postural behavior. Karel Bobath " The
motor deficit in patients with cerebral palsy"the spastic society books,
London,1968"
