Is Cp Non Progressive?

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a non-progressive disorder of motor function [1]. It describes a diverse group of disorders of movement, posture, and tone due to a central nervous system insult [2].

Is cerebral palsy regressive?

Children with CP usually present with developmental delay and motor deficits. The distinction between a static (non-progressive) and progressive clinical course is very important. Classically, loss of previously acquired milestones (regression) marks the onset of most metabolic and neurodegenerative disorders (NDD).

What is a non-progressive condition?

CP is defined as a non-progressive, but permanent disease. This means that the brain injury will not produce further degeneration of the brain.
