1) Spastic Cerebral Palsy- Spastic syndromes are the most common, representing about 70% of all Cerebral Palsy cases. The spasticity is due to upper motor neuron ( UMN) involvement and may mildly or severely affect motor function. The affected limbs appear very stiff and difficult to move. The limbs are usually underdeveloped and we can see, increased deep tendon reflexes and muscular hypertonicity, weakness and a tendency to contractures. 2) Athetoid Cerebral Palsy- Athetoid or dyskinetic syndromes occur in about 20% of the Cerebral Palsy cases and usually result from basal ganglia involvement. The resultant slow writhing, i uncontrolled or involuntary movements may affect the extremities (athetoid) or proximal parts of the limbs and trunk. 3) Ataxic Cerebral Palsy - Ataxic Syndromes are very uncommon, usually affecting less than 10% of the Cerebral Palsy cases and result from involvement of the cerebellum or its pathways and produce weakness, incoordination, imbalance , wide-based gait, and difficulty in depth perception. *Mixed forms of the above three are common, most often a mixture of spastic and athetoid.
