Key Takeaways:

  1. Cerebral Palsy (CP) is not a degenerative condition—the brain injury does not worsen over time.
  2. The brain abnormalities remain stable throughout life.
  3. However, challenges related to movement and posture can worsen if not managed early.
  4. Lack of early intervention may lead to secondary complications like joint stiffness or pain.
  5. Timely therapy and support can help maintain and improve function over time.

A child with Cerebral Palsy(CP) has brain abnormalities that won’t degenerate with age, but the difficulties faced by the child due to the brain injury can get worse with age, if not attended to early on.
