Cerebral Palsy and the Spine Bridwell

Description: Cerebral Palsy, or CP, is a group of disorders characterized by damage to the brain that makes it difficult or impossible to control movement in the legs, arms, and sometimes the trunk. Muscle spasticity or stiffness occurs making everyday activities such as walking, talking, eating, and holding objects difficult. CP is usually discovered early in a child’s life and in most cases does not worsen over time.
