  • What is Severe Cerebral Palsy?

    Severe Cerebral Palsy

    Cerebral Palsy is the result of damage to the brain, usually from lack of oxygen in utero, which causes abnormal brain development. Cerebral Palsy is characterised by the inability to control motor functions normally and can affect the overall development of a child. It affects a child’s ability to explore, speak, learn, and become independent and thus may have lasting impacts on their overall functionality. 

    Cerebral Palsy is generally classified under five types: spastic, ataxic, athetoid, hypotonic, and mixed forms. Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy can vary greatly and no two people with this condition are the same. They may include issues with balance and coordination, stiff muscles, involuntary movements or tremors, slow movements, learning difficulties, difficulty swallowing and/or walking, difficulty with fine motor skills such as buttoning clothes or picking up utensils, and it can even lead to blindness, epilepsy, or seizures.

    The type of movement issues an individual with Cerebral Palsy may experience can depend on how severely their Brain Injury has affected their muscle tone, control, and coordination.

  • Examples of Severe Cerebral Palsy

    Severe Cerebral Palsy

    Examples of severe cerebral palsy include spastic quadriplegia, which affects all four limbs and the trunk, often causing an inability to walk, severe stiffness, and associated intellectual disabilities and seizures. Other examples include severe dyskinetic cerebral palsy, which involves involuntary, uncontrollable movements, and severe ataxic cerebral palsy, which results in severe unsteadiness and incoordination. These conditions are often accompanied by additional complications such as speech, hearing, or vision problems, and joint or spinal issues. 

    Spastic quadriplegia

    • This is the most severe type of spastic cerebral palsy.
    • It affects all four limbs, the trunk, and often the face.
    • Individuals typically cannot walk and rely on wheelchairs.
    • Common associated conditions include severe stiffness, difficulty speaking, and seizures that are often difficult to control with medication.
    • Moderate to severe intellectual disabilities are also common. 

    Severe dyskinetic cerebral palsy

    • This form is characterised by difficulty controlling movement, leading to a range of involuntary motions.
    • Movements can be slow and twisting (dystonia) or quick and jerky (chorea).
    • This can make sitting and walking extremely difficult and often affects the face and tongue, causing problems with swallowing and speech. 

    Severe ataxic cerebral palsy

    • This type is characterised by severe unsteadiness and a lack of coordination.
    • Individuals may appear clumsy, have poor balance, and struggle with fine motor tasks.
    • This can lead to a high risk of falls and difficulty performing daily activities.
