The most common type of cerebral palsy is called spastic
cerebral palsy. There are different types of cerebral
palsy that is based on what type of the brain has been
damaged and to what degree. Some cerebral palsy babies
will have a mixed form, meaning a combination of spastic
cerebral palsy and another type is possible. Characterized
by muscle tone being too tight and stiff and jerky movements,
spastic cerebral palsy affects around half of all cerebral
palsy victims.
Spastic
cerebral palsy will often cause an individual to have
difficulty with moving from different positions. Based
on the severity of the spastic cerebral palsy will
determine what type of treatment method will best
control the rigid movements. Some spastic cerebral
palsy individuals will have just select body movements
affected while others with more severe instances of
spastic cerebral palsy have become affected throughout
their entire body.
