When a child is in the process of being born and that child suffers through complications during birth, one of the common problems that can arise is a lack of oxygen getting to the brain while the child is passing through the birth canal.  This lack of oxygen can lead to serious brain damage in the child, and this brain damage can be permanent and lead to lifelong conditions that will make life difficult.  One of the most common diagnoses as a result of this loss of oxygen to the brain during birth is cerebral palsy, and there are several different forms of this condition.

Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects many people throughout the United States, and people who have cerebral palsy will face a lifetime of challenges because of its presence, as there is no cure for it at this time.  However, the medical research community is attempting to learn more about what causes cerebral palsy and how it can be prevented.  One of the ways to begin this task is to learn more about how many people in the United States have cerebral palsy.  From there, potential reasons as to why these people received this diagnosis could help advance this overall learning.
