Cerebral Palsy maybe/maybe not

rich in cell bodies, rather than just the long filamentous extensions (called dendrites). These cell bodies do the brunt of metabolic work which they pass along to the long networking extensions. Cerebellum related ganglia and base of brain ganglia, when disordered, attack balance and mid line function - trunk, speech, breathing, coordinated eye symmetry etc. It may also involve specific portions which create a high incidence of severe and hard to control seizure activity. TBCP often has gross thrusting postures. Certain brain ganglia, when injured, cause limb joints to posture oddly in reaction to sensed postures of neighboring joints. Thus, a flexion of the wrist may initiate an extension of the nearest knuckles which then causes the next in line knuckles to flex while the elbow goes into a responding contortion of its own. That cascade of alternating postures of sequential joints is called dystonic posturing. Some are symmetric and some are asymmetric .

Rigidity is common (when injury to deep ganglia causes a very high sustained tone which manifests on both sides of joints - making them rigid - or frozen). How bad is bad? Can you count to 5?
