Please expand and deepen this article to include clinically vetted information on this condition encompassing all age groups. Low muscle tone combined with poor coordination of muscle movements is described as ataxic cerebral palsy . Those with ataxic cerebral palsy are very unsteady and shaky, as opposed to tight and stiff as typifies spastic cerebral palsy . This rare i.e., within the 20 30 not statistically occupied by Spastic CP form of cerebral palsy affects primarily the sense of balance and depth perception, and produces a general shakiness in movement similar to the types often seen in more general ataxia . ref http www.about cerebral palsy.org definition ataxic cerebral palsy.html ref Affected persons often have poor coordination and walk unsteadily with a wide based gait, placing their feet unusually far apart.

caution Adapted from a non clinical website. A re write of this article based on sources and information directly from medical websites is encouraged. Athetoid cerebral palsy or dyskinetic cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the cerebellum or basal ganglia responsible for processing the signals that enable smooth, coordinated movements and for typical body posture. Damage to these areas in athetoid CP generally translates to involuntary muscle movements, especially in the face, arms, and trunk. These involuntary movements often interfere with speaking, feeding, reaching, grasping, and other skills requiring coordinated movements. Involuntary grimacing and tongue thrusting may in turn lead to swallowing problems, drooling, and slurred speech. Also, the movements increase during periods of emotional stress and disappear during sleep. Muscles often flucuate between loose and tense and ultimately can create difficulty in posture. ref http jcn.sagepub.com content 16 11 793.full.pdf html ref references Those with athetoid cerebral palsy often have low muscle tone hypotonia similar to that found in ataxic cerebral palsy and in mixed CP conditions, and the opposite of spastic cerebral palsy and thus have problems maintaining posture for sitting and walking. ref http www.about cerebral palsy.org definition athetoid cerebral palsy.html ref references Of all of the cerebral palsy syndromes, Athetoid s cause commonly is associated with serious perinatal complications.

Spasticity Spastic cerebral palsy is the type of cerebral palsy wherein spasticity is either the dominant or exclusive impairment present. It is by far the most common type of overall cerebral palsy, occurring in 90 of all cases according to the Society for Cerebral Palsy in Europe SCPE even if the 90 assertion is an exaggeration, however, more conservative scientific estimates still place the prevalence of spasticity dominant cerebral palsy at anywhere from 70 80 of all cases, leaving cases dominated by ataxic cerebral palsy , dyskinetic cerebral palsy and athetoid cerebral palsy trailing at 20 30 . People with the spastic type of CP are hypertonia 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 the corticospinal tract or the motor cortex may be secondarily affected. The upper motor neuron lesion in the brain in turn impairs the ability of some nerve receptors in the Vertebral column spine to properly receive gamma amino butyric acid , leading to hypertonia in the muscles signaled by those damaged nerves. The limbs and body areas in which hypertonia manifests can be any or even all of them, depending which specific nerve groupings within the spine are rendered unable to receive GABA. Thus, spastic CP is often designated by body topography.
