Patient with this kind of CP shows fluctuating muscle tone and involuntary movements, they have problem with controlling the movement of their hands, arms, feet, legs, face and tongue which leads to difficulty during sucking, swallowing, and talking.
Hypotonic cerebral palsy
It is a rare type of Cp, caused by cerebellum damage, results floppy muscles, excess flexibility, and poor mobility.
Spastic cerebral palsy
The most common type of cerebral palsy (80%). It occurs due to damage in motor cortex or pyramidal tracts which results increased muscle tone, tight muscles and jerking movements. They are sub classified according to the extend of body part involved. They are Spastic diplegia/diparesis (affects more legs than arms). Spastic hemiplegia/hemiparesis (affects one side of body part). Spastic quadriplegia/quadriparesis (affects all four limbs, the trunk, and the face).
