Cerebral palsy usually occurs before birth or during infancy. The causes include: birth injuries, neonatal jaundice, hypoxia; premature birth, etc. The main symptoms are increased muscle tone, difficulty extending limbs. In severe cases, muscle rigidity, spasms, and joint flexion can be observed. In mild cases, poor fine motor skills in the hands and inability to place the heels on the ground when walking can be seen. These patients often have language development and articulation disorders as well as strabismus. About one-third of patients have varying degrees of seizures and intellectual disabilities. Cerebral palsy can cause delayed motor development. Lack of activity after three months of birth. Poor mobility. Lack of crawling movements of hands and feet when prone;
