Spastic Cerebral Palsy Compensation Claims

Spastic cerebral palsy is one of several types of cerebral palsy caused by increased muscle tone, which accounts for over 70% of all cases. Spastic cerebral palsy causes stiffness and tightness of the muscles which restricts motion causing abrupt and jerky movement. Spastic cerebral palsy may not always occur in isolation but can occur in conjunction with the other two distinct types. This condition is not progressive and there are therapies available that may be capable of reducing the unpleasant symptoms. The four main types of this condition are categorised as follows:-

• spastic cerebral palsy
• ataxic cerebral palsy
• athetoid cerebral palsy
• mixed cerebral palsy
