Cerebral palsy in children, also known as infantile cerebral palsy, is a group of non-progressive syndromes that manifest in early childhood. It is characterized by non-episodic central voluntary muscle dysfunction, such as severe limb pain, abnormal posture, and involuntary movements, and may also be accompanied by epilepsy, intellectual disability, language and visual impairments. The incidence rate in China currently lacks precise reporting, while overseas reports indicate a range of 1.5‰ to 5‰ among live births.
