“…For instance, the author recommended that a small degree of hypotonia does not warrant as much attention as hypotonia and motor development delays combined. It is also important to note that the assessment of individuals with CP should be ongoing after initial identification to monitor symptom manifestation and response to intervention (Aroor 1992). …”

“…Rigidity-type CP is present when all limbs are rigid and there is no evidence of disorder of the pyramidal tract. This form of C P is commonly associated with decreased intellectual functioning (Aroor, 1992). Individuals with CP of this type encounter difficulties when attempting movements requiring precision (Taft, 1987).…”

“…A definitive diagnosis of ataxic CP is questionable until the child begins to ambulate, at which point the ataxia becomes more pronounced (TaR, 1987). Hypotonic CP is rare and is characterized by lower levels of intellectual functioning and diminished head circumference (Aroor, 1992). Finally, a n estimated 30% of CP cases encompass the mixed type.…”

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a set of nonprogressive movement and posture disorders that results from trauma to the brain occurring prenatally, during the birth process, or before the age of 5 (TaR, 1987). In addition to movement problems, trauma to the brain may result in sensory, motor, and psychological deficits (Alexander, 1990). Compared with other developmental delays, motor problems are frequently the most easily diagnosed problems at an early age. Therefore, CP oRen serves as an early warning sign that other developmental problems may exist and become manifested in the future (Eicher & Batshaw, 1993). CP is a complex and heterogeneous disorder, making classification difficult. The most common classification systems rely on the motor pattern or the particular extremities involved to differentiate between types of CP (Alexander, 1990).
