Types of Cerebral Palsy

The 3 main types are Spastic Cerebral Palsy, which is displayed via stiff and restricted or very difficult movements, Athetoid Cerebral Palsy, in which case the person’s movements are involuntary and not able to be controlled and Ataxic Cerebral Palsy, in which case the person does not have a normal sense of balance and depth perception.

In some cases patients may display more than one type and this is known as Mixed Cerebral Palsy.
