The neurological basis of motor deficits in cerebral palsy
Abstract
This article describes the classifications of cerebral palsy most commonly used in daily clinical practice. Special attention is paid to the topographic aspects of the cerebral lesions that cause the clinical manifestations of cerebral palsy. Different types of hypoxic and ischemic encephalopathies in newborns are discussed, along with the clinical outcome.
