Cerebral Palsy is the choice of research I chose. It is a disorder of the nervous system that targets the muscle tone‚ movement‚ and other motor skills. I chose to do my research on this particular subject to familiarize myself of some of the symptoms and causes‚ but mostly because my great niece was diagnosed with the disorder about 3 years ago. Throughout this research paper you will notice the causes‚ diagnoses‚ the different types of cerebral palsy‚ how to evaluate‚ the symptoms‚ and treatments

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent movement disorders that appear in early childhood. Signs and manifestations vary among children and incorporate poor coordination‚ stiff muscles‚ weak muscles‚ and tremors. There may be problems with sensation‚ hearing‚ vision‚ speech and swallowing. Other associated disorders incorporate seizures and cognitive problems [1]. It happens in about 2.1 per 1‚000 live births. Cerebral palsy is caused by abnormal development or damage to the parts of the brain

bral Palsy Cerebral Palsy What is Cerebral Palsy? According to Perlstein it is a "term used to designate any paralysis‚ weakness‚ in coordination‚ or functional aberration of the motor system resulting from brain pathology."(McDonald 7). Most cases of Cerebral Palsy are diagnosed before age three‚ the sooner it is diagnosed the better the chance the child has of living a normal life. This condition usually occurs during birth or infancy and is more frequent in underdeveloped nations. The exact

Cardio Vascular System The Heart The heartis a muscular pumping organ located medial to the lungs along the body’s midline in the thoracic region. The bottom tip of the heart‚ known as its apex‚ is turned to the left‚ so that about 2/3 of the heart is located on the body’s left side with the other 1/3 on right. The top of the heart‚ known as the heart’s base‚ connects to the great blood vessels of the body: theaorta‚ vena cava‚ pulmonary trunk‚ and pulmonary veins. Circulatory Loops There are

Peripheral Vascular Disease Peripheral Vascular Disease is a condition of the blood vessels that leads to narrowing and hardening of the arteries that supply the legs and feet. “It is estimated that peripheral vascular disease affects 30 percent of the adult population‚ and two-thirds of all cases are asymptomatic” (PubMed 1998). This paper will talk about the anatomy and physiology‚ etiology and pathophysiology‚ signs and symptoms‚ diagnostic and laboratory tests‚ and treatments about this disease

CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT Cerebrovascular accident‚ termed as “brain attack‚” is also referred to as Stroke. Stroke is a sudden loss of function resulting from a disruption of the blood supply to a localized part of the brain. The mortality and morbidity of CVA in the Philippines is relatively low. There are two types of stroke: 1. Ischemic Stroke is a disruption of the blood supply due to an obstruction‚ usually thrombus or embolism that causes infarction of brain tissue. 2.

Cerebral palsy is a disorder of movement‚ muscle tone or posture that is caused by disruptions to the premature‚ growing brain‚ often occurs before birth. Signs and symptoms are seen during infancy or preschool years. Commonly‚ cerebral palsy is brought on by impaired movement associated with excessive reflexes‚ floppiness‚ or rigidity of the arms and legs and body‚ abnormal posture‚ compulsory movements‚ unsteadiness of walking‚ or some combination of these. The result of having cerebral palsy affects

Cerebral Palsy is defined as a condition marked by impaired muscle coordination (spastic paralysis) and/or other disabilities‚ typically caused by damage to the brain before or at birth. Although Cerebral palsy is not contagious‚ a person can intentionally or unintentionally increase the possibility a child will develop Cerebral Palsy through abuse‚ medical malpractice‚ negligence‚ or the spread of a bacterial or viral infection (Stern‚ 2017). Cerebral palsy was first introduced in the mid 1800’s
