Abstract

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a term used to describe a group of conditions caused by injury to the developing brain in the prenatal, perinatal, or postnatal period that leads to disorder of movement, tone, and/or posture. The clinical manifestations of CP are highly variable based on the location and extent of injury to the brain. The injury may affect not only the motor cortex, but also other areas, which can lead to difficulty with cognition, communication, sensation, and behavior. Although there is currently no cure, much progress is being made in terms of both preventing and mitigating the effects of the brain injury. The goal of orthopedic management of children with CP is to maximize function and participation in activities while minimizing the effects of factors that can make the condition worse such as contractures, hip dislocation, and scoliosis.
