Symptoms of cerebral palsy vary in severity. These may include delayed motor milestones, muscle stiffness or floppiness, involuntary movements, poor coordination, and difficulty walking or speaking. Some children may also experience learning challenges, seizures, or vision and hearing problems.
How We Diagnose Cerebral Palsy
Doctors diagnose cerebral palsy through a combination of physical and neurological evaluations. Imaging studies, such as MRI or CT scans, help identify brain abnormalities, while developmental and motor assessments evaluate muscle tone, reflexes, and movement patterns. Timely diagnosis ensures access to the best treatment for cerebral palsy in Delhi, allowing effective therapy and improved functional outcomes.
Treatment Options
Treatment for cerebral palsy focuses on enhancing movement, promoting independence, and improving quality of life. It includes physiotherapy, occupational as well as speech therapy, medications for muscle control, and, in some cases, orthopaedic or neurosurgical procedures.

FAQs
-
Is cerebral palsy a disease?
No, it is a neurological disorder or a clinical "umbrella term." It is not contagious, and it is not progressive, meaning the brain injury itself does not get worse over time, though the physical impact on muscles and joints can change as a person ages.
-
What are the primary causes of CP?
Most cases (85–90%) are congenital, occurring before or during birth. Common triggers include gene mutations, maternal infections, fetal strokes, or a lack of oxygen during a difficult delivery. Acquired CP can happen in early infancy due to brain infections (like meningitis) or head injuries.
-
What are the different types of cerebral palsy?
According to the CDC, there are four main types based on the movement involved:
-
Spastic CP: The most common type; muscles are stiff and movements awkward.
-
Dyskinetic CP: Characterised by uncontrollable, jerky, or slow writhing movements.
-
Ataxic CP: Affects balance and depth perception.
-
Mixed CP: A combination of more than one type.
-
-
How early can a child be diagnosed?
While some severe cases are identified shortly after birth, most children are diagnosed between 12 and 24 months of age. Doctors look for "developmental delays," such as a baby not reaching milestones like sitting up, crawling, or walking at the expected time.
-
Does CP always affect intelligence?
No. While some individuals with CP may have an intellectual disability, many others have average or above-average intelligence. The physical inability to speak or move easily does not reflect a person's cognitive ability or potential.
