Cerebral palsy is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects muscle control, movement, and coordination. It is caused by an injury or abnormal development of the brain, typically occurring before or during birth.

Characterized by poor head control, variable muscle tone, and rigidity.
Affects the entire body, resulting in severe impairments in movement and coordination.
