Cerebral Palsy : Types of Cerebral Palsy
There are a few classifications of Cerebral Palsy:
- Spastic
- Ataxic
- Athenoid
Spastic
Spastic Cerebral Palsy is the most common, and can be further classified by what parts of the body are affected. Spastic hemiplegia indicates one side of the body is more affected than the other. Spastic diplegia tells us the lower half of the body is more affected than the upper half. Spastic quadriplegia means the whole body and all its limbs are equally affected.
Ataxic
Ataxic cases are the least common and may cause tremors and usually affect motor skills and balance. Patients may have trouble processing things using visual or auditory skills. Cerebral Palsy patients may also have a mixed form of Cerebral Palsy, and may therefore suffer some of the symptoms of each form.
Athenoid
Athenoid, which is less common, means having mixed muscle tone. Such patients may trouble keeping steady, controlling limbs, or holding onto objects.
