To understand cerebral palsy, it is very important to understand what kind it is.

Cerebral palsy affects muscle groups and can cause disorders. Spastic cerebral conditions can cause brain damage, which occurs before birth or during birth or in the early years of a child's life. By the time the child is one year old, its identity becomes clear because the symptoms are clearly visible.

The second type is dyskinetic cerebral palsy. In this, there is damage to that part of the brain, which is called the basal ganglia. It is believed to be responsible for regulating voluntary activities. Due to the connection of the basal ganglia with other areas of the brain, it also controls emotions and mood.

The third type of this is mixed cerebral palsy. Many cerebral palsy patients do not have symptoms of any kind of cerebral palsy. These patients are thought to suffer from mixed cerebral palsy. They have mixed symptoms ranging from normal to spastic, atteoid and ataxic cerebral palsy. Mixed cerebral palsy is actually a type of cerebral palsy characterized by three other cerebral palsies.
