Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders caused by damage to certain areas of the brain, which affect movement and posture. The condition is usually diagnosed at a young age through a series of tests involving thorough medical background checks of both mother and child, assessment of a child’s reflexes and motor skills, and CT scans and MRIs. During the diagnostic process, a doctor is determining whether or not the child has unusual muscle tone, slow developmental skills, abnormal posture, and other early symptoms of cerebral palsy.
