of body function. Motor skills in particular can be affected by the condition. Muscle tone and muscle coordination are impacted not because of damage to the sensory or
motor nerves that control the muscles but rather because of specific impacts to the brain itself. The cerebral impacts themselves occur during critical points in brain development. The
ancillary impacts that occur in relation to that damage, however, are progressive. The thesis can be presented, in fact, that:
While brain damage resulting in cerebral palsy is finite (it does not progress after the initial damage is sustained), the character of disabilities resulting
from that damage can and often do change over time. The physical impacts of cerebral
palsy involve impeded movement, balance, and posture. Chen, Kang, Chuang, et. al. (1441) clarify that the term cerebral palsy is used descriptively for "a group of movements and posture
that are attributed to nonprogressive impairments in the developing fetal or infant brain". Early motor skills, after all, are directly linked to neuronal function and this function can be
impacted by a number of factors not just cerebral palsy. Some individuals suffering from cerebral palsy are only slightly affected in terms of their ability to pursue a normal
life but others are severely affected (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke). Some might require extensive medical intervention and supportive therapy while other might require none (National Institute
of Neurological Disorders and Stroke). Although the exact causes of cerebral palsy are not fully understood, it is a condition which
