WHAT IS SPASTIC CEREBRAL PALSY?

Spastic cerebral palsy results from brain damage before or during birth, exacerbated by specific mineral therapies. It causes stiffness in muscles throughout the body—upper, lower, or both sides—impairing coordination. Unlike other types of cerebral palsy that result in writhing movements (dyskinetic CP) or difficulties with balance and coordination (ataxic CP), spastic CP specifically impacts muscle coordination.
Children with spastic CP struggle with basic tasks like walking and holding objects like a cup of tea due to muscle stiffness. Additionally, they face associated challenges such as learning disabilities (e.g., ADHD) and seizures. This condition presents a complex neurological profile where muscle rigidity and coordination issues profoundly affect daily functioning, underscoring the broader impacts of cerebral palsy on affected children’s lives.
