Also called spastic diplegia, cerebral palsy is a condition that usually results from oxygen deficiency during birth. The affected individual often has associated seizures and moderate to mild retardation. There may be a profound impairment in coordination, with inability to walk without “scissoring” in the lower extremities. Lack of hand coordination also may be evident, In the most severe cases normal development is completely impossible. “Patterning,” the alternate repetitive movement of extremities in “crossed extensor” pattern (straightening out of one arm and the opposite leg) has been tried by devoted friends and family members to enable an affected individual to learn what otherwise would have come naturally. Some cases of cardiac arrest during childhood have resulted in cerebral palsy. With adjustment for the milder handicaps, many children can be educated to enjoy life with some useful skill.
