A member asked:
Can motor function in adults with cerebral palsy be lost or can it be post-impairment syndrome from cp?

Not progressive: Motor function does not usually deteriorate in adults with cerebral palsy- from the cerebral palsy itself. However, decreased activity and sub optimally treated spasm can lead to pressure impairments. You should see a physiatrist.

Cerebral palsy: Cerebral palsy is a static disorder, which at your age should not progress. With any period of immobilization, contractures can occur which may impair motor function further.
