Kenneth Halpern & Associates
Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is a term used to describe a group of chronic conditions affecting body movements and muscle coordination. It is caused by damage to one or more specific areas of the brain, usually occurring during fetal development, or during infancy. It can also occur before, during or shortly following birth. The injury sometimes is caused by medical mistakes. People with cerebral palsy require extensive medical treatment, therapy and training, sometimes for their entire lives.

Complications during pregnancy or after birth are the most common causes of preventable cerebral palsy. They include:

  • Untreated infections
  • Preventable lack of oxygen to the brain (cerebral hypoxia)
  • Side effects of improperly prescribed analgesic drugs
  • Incorrect use of forceps
  • Bad birth position inappropriately handled
  • Incorrectly treated respiratory distress before or after birth
