Introduction[edit | edit source]

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a heterogeneous non-progressive neuromotor disorder in an immature brain that affects movement and posture.[1] Primary impairments associated with cerebral palsy include spasticity, weakness, decreased motor control and movement dysfunction.[2] Cerebral palsy can also lead to a number of secondary musculoskeletal conditions, which can also affect functional ability.[2]
