Abstract
Cerebral palsy occurs in every to 2/1000 to 2.5/1000 live births.1 It is " . . . an umbrella term covering a group of non-progressive, but often changing, motor impairment syndromes secondary to lesions or anomalies of the brain arising in the early stages of development."2 Thus, whatever additional developmental difficulties individuals with cerebral palsy might have as a result of impairment of the developing central nervous system, the hallmark of these conditions is a disorder in the development of gross motor function.Keywords
