Cerebral palsy (CP) starts in early childhood, and is a motor impairment that does not progress. CP is caused when children are deprived of oxygen during birth, or because of other factors around that ...

A Canadian-led study has identified genes which may be partially responsible for the development of cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy (CP), a condition that affects the development of motor skills in ...

A new international research group has been established to investigate the underlying genetic causes of cerebral palsy, spurred on by the discoveries of University of Adelaide researchers. The news ...

A study conducted by researchers at the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix and an international team of researchers shows about 14% of cerebral palsy cases may be tied to de novo ...

Although it is one of the most common childhood-onset physical disabilities, the exact causes of cerebral palsy (CP) are not always clear. The potential causes and risk factors include damage to the ...

University of Adelaide researchers have uncovered a genetic signal common to both cerebral palsy and autism. The finding comes from the first large-scale study of gene expression in children with ...

New research suggests that genes may play a role in cerebral palsy, the most common cause of physical disability in children. Previous research has identified several pregnancy-related risk factors, ...

The world’s largest study of cerebral palsy (CP) genetics has discovered genetic defects are most likely responsible for more than a quarter of cases in Chinese children, rather than a lack of oxygen ...

University of Utah investigators who lead the Utah Registry of Autism and Developmental Disabilities (URADD) have received funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to track ...

Researchers say they've pinpointed risk factors that contribute to cerebral palsy and early infant death. The U.S. and Australian researchers compared the medical records of children with cerebral ...

Spastic hemiplegia is a type of spastic cerebral palsy, where the part of the brain controlling movement is damaged. The condition can affect children before birth, during labor, or in the first few ...

Doctors use a few different scales when looking at how cerebral palsy affects your body and life. It’s important to note that these scales aren’t progressive. Cerebral palsy is a motor condition that ...
