Abstract

Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive disorder of movement originating from neural lesions in the perinatal period,and is associated with a wide range of common comorbidities. The average age for diagnosis has been around 18 months; recent evidence has suggested that cerebral palsy can be detected as early as three to four months using tests such as Prechtl’s Qualitative Assessment of General Movements and medical resonance imaging. At the time being, 27 existing surveillance programs on cerebral palsy apply fivedefinitions of cerebral palsy with 46% of surveillance programs using more than one definition. As analysis showed, the definition suggested by Surveillance of Cerebral Palsy in Europe is most cited (63%), followed by the definition of Rosenbaum et al. 2007 (54%). Therefore, several most widely cited CP definitions will be outlined in this short review article.
