What are the clinical features of cerebral palsy?

The clinical features of cerebral palsy vary depending on the type and severity but generally include:
  1. Muscle tone abnormalities – either stiffness (spasticity) or low tone (hypotonia).
  2. Motor difficulties – problems with movement, balance, coordination, or posture.
  3. Delayed developmental milestones – such as rolling, sitting, crawling, or walking later than peers.
  4. Involuntary movements – tremors, jerks, or uncontrolled motions in some CP types.
  5. Associated conditions – seizures, intellectual disability, vision or hearing problems, and feeding/swallowing challenges.
If you notice any of these signs, early intervention is key. Book consultation now for an assessment and support plan.
