Physiologic classification
1. Spastic cerebral palsy – It is by far the most common type of overall cerebral palsy, occurring in 80% of all cases. People with this type of CP are hypertonic and have what is essentially a neuromuscular mobility impairment (rather than hypotonia or paralysis) stemming from an upper motor neuron lesion in the brain as well as the corticospinal tract or the motor cortex. This damage impairs the ability of some nerve receptors in the spine to properly receive gamma amino butyric acid, leading to hypertonia in the muscles signaled by those damaged nerves. Spastic cerebral palsy refers to the increased tone, or tension, in a muscle.
2. Athetoid cerebral palsy Present in about 15% of people with cerebral palsy. . Severe athetoid cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the basal ganglia, located in the midbrain. People with athetoid / Dyskinetic cerebral palsy experience uncontrolled, involuntary, sustained or intermittent muscle contractions as the tone of the muscle can change from floppy and loose (hypotonia) to tight with slow, rhythmic twisting movements, maintaining an upright position. Speech can be hard to understand as there may be difficulty controlling the tongue, breathing and vocal chords.
3. Ataxic cerebral palsy This is present in about 4% of people with cerebral palsy. Ataxia is defined as an “inability to activate the correct pattern of muscles during movement”. Ataxic cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the cerebellum, which is in the base of the brain. Most people with ataxic cerebral palsy can walk but they will probably be unsteady with shaky movements. Speech and language can also be affected. The most significant characteristic of ataxic cerebral palsy is tremor, especially when attempting quick or precise movements, such as writing or buttoning a shirt.
4. Mixed cerebral palsy Children with mixed cerebral palsy usually have both the tight muscle tone of spastic cerebral palsy and the involuntary movements of athetoid cerebral palsy. This is caused by injury to both the pyramidal and extra pyramidal areas of the brain. It usually takes months or years to notice the presence of mixed cerebral palsy more obvious.Involuntary grimacing and tongue thrusting may lead to swallowing problems, drooling, and slurred speech. The movements often increase during periods of emotional stress and disappear during sleep. In addition, children with mixed cerebral palsy often have low muscle tone and have problems maintaining posture for sitting and walking.
5. Atonic Cerebral Palsy- children with hypotonic cerebral palsy will have low tone in whole body but most of time, this type of CP will change in any other variety most likely into athetoid cerebral palsy
