Cause of Cerebral Palsy

The cause of Cerebral Palsy is a brain injury that occurs while the brain is developing before, during, or after birth. As a result of the brain damage during brain development a child's muscle control, muscle coordination, muscle tone, reflex, posture, and balance can be affected.
