Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of physical disability in most developed countries, with a prevalence ranging from 1.5 to greater than 3 per 1000 live births. The widely accepted international definition is the widely accepted international definition is “Cerebral palsy describes a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain. The motor disorders of cerebral palsy are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition, and communication, behavior musculoskeletal, feeding and swallowing problems.
