Cerebral Palsy and Nutrition

Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders characterized by or loss of other nerve functions. These disorders are caused by injuries to the brain that are present at birth or appear in the first three years of life. What these disorders have in common is that the underlying brain damage doesn't get worse over the years. They also all cause some degree of damage in the motor neurons of the brain, affecting coordination and muscle strength.

Depending on which areas of the brain have been damaged, one or more of the following may occur:

1. muscle tightness or spasms
2. involuntary movement
3. difficulty with "gross motor skills" such as walking or running
4. difficulty with "fine motor skills" such as writing or doing up buttons
5. difficulty in perception and sensation

Some of the prenatal causes may be prematurity of Cerebral Palsy are lack of proper nutrition or virus. Research has shown that optimizing the nutritional status of children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) improves their general health. Also proper nutrition for women who may become or already are pregnant may reduce the risk of illnesses and conditions for both mother and baby. Calcium and magnesium deficiencies have been found to be linked to Cerebral Palsy.
