Cerebral Palsy Symptoms

Most children afflicted with cerebral palsy are born with the condition, despite the fact that it generally takes several months to a few years to detect. The reason for this delayed detection is that babies naturally have limited mobility, obscuring the recognizable symptoms of cerebral palsy.

However, as children grow and cerebral palsy symptoms appear, they will include some combination of:

• ataxia, an inability to coordinate voluntary movements
• dragging a foot or leg when walking
• irregular muscle tone
• spasticity, an exaggeration of reflexes and movements
• tiptoeing or hunching when walking
