ABSTRACT

Cerebral Palsy is a group of disorders that affect movement and posture due to brain damage or abnormal brain development. Cerebral palsy can arise from various factors before, during, or after birth, and understanding these can help in prevention and management. Early detection through medical assessments and interventions is crucial for improving the quality of life for those affected. This chapter explores cerebral palsy by examining its definition, types, causes, risk factors, and the importance of early diagnosis.
