10 Common Signs & Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy

Gross Motor Functions

Another common symptom of cerebral palsy is improper gross motor function. In most cases, it is often caused by the lack of muscle tone, particularly hypotonia or hypertonia. Under the effects of this condition, many muscle groups on your body tend to be too inflexible or too tight, making it difficult to move as usual. In some rare cases, muscles would get too loose and also lead to troubles in moving and performing basic activities. So if your children reach a developmental milestone later than expected or have difficulties moving around, then they might suffer from cerebral palsy. [4]
