Causes of the disease
Similar to cerebral palsy, conditions can occur at any age after an infectious disease, stroke, or trauma to the skull. The defeat of the fetal brain during pregnancy or childbirth causes infantile cerebral palsy. The causes of the occurrence are in many cases unknown. During pregnancy, the expectant mother could injure the fetus after receiving any trauma, or get a dose of radiation. Toxicosis, diabetes mellitus, incompatibility of the mother's blood and the child's blood - all this can also be the cause. Cerebral Palsy is not a hereditary disease. No child is insured from it. Also, early / late births or abnormal births can result in the development of cerebral palsy, as a result of which the infant's head is injured.

- Increased muscle tone, decreasing in motion (spasticity).
In the location of the location four groups are distinguished:
1. Monoplegic - one limb.
2. Diplegic - a violation of the functions of the two extremities (either upper or lower).
3. Hemiplegic - partial or complete impairment of functions on one side of the body of the two limbs.
4. Quadriplegic - partial or complete violation of the functions of all limbs.
