Cerebral palsy is a permanent, non-progressive disorder that is diagnosed in thousands of young children every year. Frustratingly, cerebral palsy remains one of the most common childhood disabilities. The condition affects between 2 to 2.5 children per 1000 births in our country.<\/p>\n<p>Cerebral palsy is a static neurological condition that is a consequence of a brain injury that happens before the brain is fully developed. While damage to the brain is static, the clinical manifestation of the condition can change over time and lead to the development of many associated medical conditions such as muscular contractures, bony deformity, and pain.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, there is not a cure &#8212; at least not yet &#8212; for this neurological condition. But while the changes in the brain caused by CP are not amenable to correction, there is a great expenditure of resources from parents and health care providers to provide therapeutic and adaptive support. Why? Because treatment makes a meaningful difference in these kids being able to achieve their optimal functional potential. There is no question that early diagnosis and intervention treatment is critical to improving a child&#8217;s long-term prognosis. If you understand the unique indicators and physical symptoms of CP is a critical element of diagnosing the condition early and getting the child the treatment they need to have the best possible outcome.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.millerandzois.com\/medical-malpractice\/birth-injuries\/cerebral-palsy-lawsuit-maryland\/cerebral-palsy-symptoms\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading Cerebral Palsy Symptoms\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cerebral palsy (&#8220;CP&#8221;) is a major physical disability resulting from damage to the fetus&#8217; developing brain during childbirth or late pregnancy.
