3 Cerebral Palsy in Kenya

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurodevelopmental disability resulting from differences in brain development or brain injury that occur before, during, or shortly after birth. CP is characterized by muscle tone, movement, and motor skill differences, with clinical features evolving over time. It is typically identifiable after 3-5 years of age, although suggestive signs may be present earlier. CP is the most common cause of motor disabilities in childhood, affecting 1 to 4 out of every 1,000 children worldwide (CDC).
