Children that are born prematurely also have a higher chance of having this disorder. It is possible to be born without cerebral palsy but then later sustain an injury to the head great enough to cause brain damage and cerbral palsy. 90% of cerebral palsy happen before or during birth. The most common cause of brain damage in newborns is lack of oxygen to the fetus or umbiblical cord strangulation. During birth, the baby makes a long journey down the birth canal, the contractions to get the baby out involve severe pressure can cut off the baby's circulation and prevent oxygen from going to the brain. The head is also squeezed, large pressures can cause problems. When that happens, cells in the brain that require oxygen to function and live begin to die and if too many cells die in a certain area of the brain die, then the body may lose any number of functions depending on the damaged area. || = RESEARCH = = QUESTION: = || What are the effects of Cerebral Palsy? || __Cerebral Palsy __.

 * Try to find a short effective quote || Cerebral palsy affects the part of the brain that controls muscles that comes in three different forms: hemplegia- affects one side of the body; diplegia- both legs or both arms; and quadriplegia- both arms and legs. It also causes four types of muscle problems: spastic muscles- rigid and stiff; hypotonic- floppy; athetosis- trouble controlling own legs or arms; and ataxic is having trouble in keeping balance. This causes children that have this disease grow more slowly than other healthy children because they have trouble eating, causing malnutrition, which is not getting enough food needed for growth. The mental effects are that some people with this disease may be slower to develop mentally, some may never think complexly, and some may even be completely disabled. ||

Surgery: Can help lengthen the Achilles Tendon, people with cerebral palsy have tight calf muscles, by having surgery, they can walk more normally.

Medication: Can reduce certain effects, like injecting intto a muscle that is tight that prevents movement of an arm will make it relax and made the arm functional. However, it needs to be done every 4-6 months, and has to be done when patient is under anesthesia.

Braces (special equipment): Since they are made of hard plastics, it can straighten the limbs that are bent or twisted, and support weak muscles, after the person puts on their shoe, they are not visible when worn.

Physical therapy: Includes acitivities, exercises, and games that make the patient move their body to improve their control of their muscles. A speech therapist involves making the patient practice shaping the mouth to form words. || ||

Since brain damage causes cerebral palsy, prevent brain damage. This can be done by that the pregnant mother looks after herself by having a balenced, nutritious diet, because the mother's nutrition is very important in proper brain development and growth of the fetus. Smoking, drinking alchohol can cause mothers to give birth to low-weight babies and harm their brain development. Parents should see a doctor during pregnancy to reduce fetal brain damage, doctors can alert them if the diet is not healthy and/or balenced enough. Vaccines prevent bacterial and viral infections like rubella that may cause cerebral palsy. || This information is new to me because I never knew how cerebral palsy could be prevented. I will show a picture of a growing fetus in a pregnant mother and a food pyramid to represent a healthy diet. ||
