The most common type of mixed CP is spastic-dyskinetic CP. Some people have symptoms of more than one type of CP. They might have a hard time controlling their hands or arms when they reach for something. They might have a hard time with quick movements or movements that need a lot of control, like writing. People with ataxic CP have problems with balance and coordination. A person with dyskinetic CP has muscle tone that can change (varying from too tight to too loose) not only from day to day, but even during a single day. Sometimes the face and tongue are affected and the person has a hard time sucking, swallowing, and talking. The movements are uncontrollable and can be slow and writhing or rapid and jerky. People with dyskinetic CP have problems controlling the movement of their hands, arms, feet, and legs, making it difficult to sit and walk. People with spastic quadriparesis usually cannot walk and often have other developmental disabilities such as intellectual disability seizures or problems with vision, hearing, or speech.ĭyskinetic Cerebral Palsy (also includes athetoid, choreoathetoid, and dystonic cerebral palsies) Spastic quadriplegia/quadriparesis―Spastic quadriplegia is the most severe form of spastic CP and affects all four limbs, the trunk, and the face.Spastic hemiplegia/hemiparesis―This type of CP affects only one side of a person’s body usually the arm is more affected than the leg.People with spastic diplegia might have difficulty walking because tight hip and leg muscles cause their legs to pull together, turn inward, and cross at the knees (also known as scissoring). Spastic diplegia/diparesis―In this type of CP, muscle stiffness is mainly in the legs, with the arms less affected or not affected at all.Spastic CP usually is described by what parts of the body are affected: This means their muscles are stiff and, as a result, their movements can be awkward. People with spastic CP have increased muscle tone. Spastic CP affects about 80% of people with CP. The most common type of CP is spastic CP. There are four main types of CP: Spastic Cerebral Palsy Depending on which areas of the brain are affected, one or more of the following movement disorders can occur: Many also have related conditions such as intellectual disability seizures problems with vision, hearing, or speech changes in the spine (such as scoliosis) or joint problems (such as contractures).ĭoctors classify CP according to the main type of movement disorder involved. CP does not get worse over time, though the exact symptoms can change over a person’s lifetime.Īll people with CP have problems with movement and posture. A person with mild CP, on the other hand, might walk a little awkwardly, but might not need any special help. A person with severe CP might need to use special equipment to be able to walk, or might not be able to walk at all and might need lifelong care. The symptoms of CP vary from person to person. CP is caused by abnormal brain development or damage to the developing brain that affects a person’s ability to control his or her muscles. Palsy means weakness or problems with using the muscles. Cerebral means having to do with the brain. CP is the most common motor disability in childhood.
