How is My Child Affected by Spastic Cerebral Palsy?
Our brain’s motor cortex is connected to the spine by the pyramidal tracts. This region is the command center for coordinating our body movements. If any part of this critical region is damaged in the womb or first years of life, spastic cerebral palsy usually develops.
Children suffering from spastic cerebral palsy sometimes have stiff, tight muscles on one side or both sides of their body, move with exaggerated motion and gait and walk on their tiptoes. Symptoms generally worsen over time which further hinders mobility.
