Symptoms of an ICP disease
Symptoms of infantile cerebral palsy (ICP) usually appear in early infancy. Depending on the severity of the brain damage, the severity of the disorders is individual for each ICP patient.
The muscles in the arms and/or legs can be affected in different ways (spastic muscle stiffness). While many children show only mild symptoms, such as a weak hand that has difficulty grasping and writing, spastic paralysis can occur in more severe cases. Severely affected patients are sometimes unable to move independently and require permanent care. The motor difficulties are often accompanied by additional impairments of the sensory organs and related communication, perception and behavior.
