Define cerebral palsy

a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitations that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occured in the developing fetus

what is spasticity

velocity-dependent resistance to passive movement which is seen as increased muscle tone, caused by an increase in stretch reflex activity

what is clonus

involuntary rhythmic muscle contractions

what is hypertonia

non-velocty-dependent resistance to passive movement seen as increased muscle tone, caused by continuous muscle activation Signup and view all the answers

Name the 4 types of CP and their characteristics

Spastic: cerebral cortex damage, increase muscle tone and deep tendon reflexes, gait difficulties, hand dexterity Dyskinetic: basal ganglia damage, movement disorders, gait impairments, poor postural control, difficulty speaking Ataxic: cerebellum damage, lack of coordination and poor balance, wide-based gait, difficulty timing movements Signup and view all the answers

Define parkinsons

is a chronic, progressive, and incurable neurological condition largely resulting from the degeneration of dopamine producing cells in the basal ganglia. It is considered a motor disorder but also has significant non-motor deficits affecting cognition, behavior and emotion Signup and view all the answers
