People with cerebral palsy may have swallowing problems and eye muscle imbalance, where usually the eyes are not focused on the same object. People with cerebral palsy may experience decreased range of motion in various joints in their bodies due to novelization.
.
SYMPTOMS OF CEREBRAL PALSY
Signs and symptoms can vary widely. Movement and coordination problems associated with cerebral palsy may include:
– Novelties in muscle tone, such as being too stiff or too flabby
– Stiff muscles and exaggerated reflexes (spasticity)..
– Solid muscles with Normal reflexes (stiffness).
– Lack of novelization (ataxia).
– Tremors or involuntary movements.
– Slow, writing movements (athetosis).
– Delays in the development of motor skills, such as loading arms, sitting alone or crawling.
– Preferring one side of the body, such as lying down with only one hand or dragging one leg.
– Challenging walks such as fingertip walking, a crouched walk, a scissor-like walk that crosses the knees, a wide walk, or an asymmetric walk.
– Problems with excessive fall or swallowing.
– Difficulty sucking or eating.
– Delays in speech development or difficulty speaking.
– Difficulty with delicate movements, such as getting crayons or spoons.
– Seizures.
Disability associated with cerebral palsy may be limited primarily to one limb or one side of the body, or may affect the entire body. The brain disorder that causes cerebral palsy does not change over time, so symptoms usually do not worsen with age. However Nov Nov can worsen muscle shortening and muscle stiffness if not treated aggressively.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF CEREBRAL PALSY?
Abnormal brain development or injury to the developing brain can cause cerebral palsy. The damage affects the part of the brain that controls body movement, coordination and posture.
Brain damage usually occurs before birth, but can also occur during childbirth or in the first years of life. In most cases, the exact cause of cerebral palsy is unknown. Some of the possible causes include:
– Asphyxia neonatorum or lack of oxygen to the brain during labor and delivery.
– Gene mutations resulting in abnormal brain development severe jaundice in the baby.
– Maternal infections, such as German measles and herpes simplex.
– Brain infections such as encephalitis and meningitis.
– Intracranial hemorrhage or bleeding to the brain.
– Injuries caused by a traffic accident, fall or child abuse.

TYPES OF CEREBRAL PALSY
There are different types of cerebral palsy that affect various parts of the brain. Each type causes specific movement disorders. Types of cerebral palsy:
Spastic cerebral palsy
Spastic cerebral palsy is the most common type of SP, affecting about 80 percent of people with SP . It causes stiff muscles and exaggerated reflexes, making walking difficult.
Many people with spastic cerebral palsy have walking abnormalities, such as bending their knees while walking or making scissor-like movements with their legs. Muscle weakness and paralysis may also be present Nov. Symptoms can affect the whole body or only one side of the body.
Dyskinetic cerebral palsy
People with dyskinetic cerebral palsy have difficulty controlling their body movements. The disease causes involuntary, abnormal movements in the arms, legs and hands .
In some cases, the face and tongue are also affected. Movements can be slow and bumpy or fast and jerky. It can make it difficult for the affected person to walk, sit, swallow or speak.
Hypotonic cerebral palsy
Hypotonic cerebral palsy causes decreased muscle tone and overly loose novices. The arms and legs move very easily and look droopy like a rag doll.
Babies with this type of hypotonic cerebral palsy have little control over their heads and may have difficulty breathing. As they age, they may struggle by sitting straight as a result of their weakened muscles. They may also have difficulty speaking, poor reflexes and walking abnormalities.
Ataxic Cerebral Palsy
Ataxic Cerebral Palsy is the least common type of SP. Ataxic SP is characterized by muscle movements that often appear irregular, clumsy, or jerky Nov .
People with this form of SP often have problems with balance and coordination. They may have difficulty walking and performing good motor functions such as grasping and writing objects.
Mixed cerebral palsy
Some people have a combination of symptoms from different types of SPS. This is called mixed SP. In most cases of mixed SP, people experience a mixture of spastic and dyskinetic SP.

TREATMENT OF CEREBRAL PALSY IN TURKEY HOSPITALS
It is not possible to completely improve cerebral palsy, but treatment usually improves the child’s skills. If their disability is properly treated, many children can live an adult life close to normal. In addition to doctors, the family also has great responsibilities in the treatments applied. It is very important that parents get the necessary information about their child’s disease and act consciously. Many treatment methods, from drug treatments to physical therapies, are aimed at improving the patient’s quality of life. It is aimed that the child can use his arms and legs comfortably with physical therapy and rehabilitation while taking precautions against problems such as contractions and remittances with drug therapy. Physical therapies that teach the child to act independently also help him speak more properly. Please note that cerebral palsy treatment is a team effort. A fairly wide range of treatment is applied, from neurologist to psychologist. In addition to all this, family support is the most important element that affects the course of your treatment.
