Spastic Cerebral Palsy

Movement difficulties

About 70 to 80 percent of affected individuals have Spastic Cerebral Palsy, in which muscles are stiff, making movement difficult. When both legs are affected (Spastic Diplegia), a child may have difficulty walking because tight muscles in the hips and legs cause legs to turn inward and cross at the knees. In other cases, only one side of the body is affected (Spastic Hemiplegia), often with the arm more severely affected than the leg.

Most severe is Spastic Quadriplegia, in which all four limbs and the trunk are affected, often along with the muscles controlling the mouth and tongue.
