How long can Cerebral palsy last?
- Lifelong
- Within a short period of time
- No idea
- Until adulthood
Correct Answer

A. Lifelong

Explanation

Cerebral palsy is a permanent condition that affects a person's movement, muscle tone, and posture. It is caused by damage to the developing brain, usually before or during birth. The effects of cerebral palsy do not improve or go away over time, hence it lasts lifelong. This means that individuals with cerebral palsy will require ongoing support and management throughout their lives to help them manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

4.

The following are complications associated with Cerebral palsy except
- Seizures
- Intellectual disability
- Temporary madness
- Can't Tell
Correct Answer

A. Temporary madness

Explanation

Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder that affects movement and muscle coordination. Seizures and intellectual disability are commonly associated with cerebral palsy due to the brain damage or abnormal brain development that occurs. However, temporary madness is not a recognized complication of cerebral palsy. This term is not commonly used in medical literature to describe any specific symptom or condition related to cerebral palsy. Therefore, it can be concluded that temporary madness is not a complication associated with cerebral palsy.

. What is the cause of Cerebral palsy?
- Hereditary
- Excess food
- Lack of sleep
- Often unknown
Correct Answer

A. Often unknown

Explanation

Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder that affects movement and muscle coordination. The cause of cerebral palsy is often unknown, meaning that it cannot be attributed to a specific factor such as hereditary factors, excess food, or lack of sleep. This suggests that there may be a combination of various factors, including genetic and environmental factors, that contribute to the development of cerebral palsy. However, the exact cause remains unclear in many cases.

Rate this question:
6.

The following are treatment of Cerebral palsy except
- Physical therapy
- Occupational therapy
- External braces
- Blood Transfusion
Correct Answer

A. Blood Transfusion

Explanation

The correct answer is Blood Transfusion because it is not a treatment for cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder that affects movement and coordination, and the main treatments for it involve physical therapy and occupational therapy to improve muscle strength and motor skills. External braces may also be used to support and stabilize the affected limbs. Blood transfusion, on the other hand, is not a recognized treatment for cerebral palsy and is not directly related to managing the symptoms or underlying causes of the condition.

7.

What is the risk factor of Cerebral palsy?
- Preterm birth
- Safe delivery
- Still Birth
- Tremors
Correct Answer

A. Preterm birth

Explanation

Preterm birth is a known risk factor for cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that affect a person's ability to move and maintain balance and posture. It is caused by damage to the developing brain, and babies born prematurely are at a higher risk of brain damage due to their immature and underdeveloped organs. The earlier the baby is born, the higher the risk of cerebral palsy. Therefore, preterm birth is a significant risk factor for developing cerebral palsy.

Extensive study of the cerebral Palsy began in the 19th century by whom?
- Thomas Mackson
- William John Little

Correct Answer

A. William John Little

Explanation

William John Little is the correct answer because he is widely recognized as one of the pioneers in the study of cerebral palsy. He was a British surgeon who extensively researched the condition in the 19th century. Little's work laid the foundation for understanding the causes and treatment of cerebral palsy, and his contributions continue to influence the field to this day.

10.

The following are the medication of CP except
- Diazepam
- Baclofen
- Botulinum toxin
- Ibuprofen
Correct Answer

A. Ibuprofen

Explanation

Ibuprofen is not a medication used for the treatment of CP (Cerebral Palsy). Diazepam, Baclofen, and Botulinum toxin are commonly prescribed medications for managing the symptoms of CP such as muscle spasms and stiffness. Ibuprofen, on the other hand, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) primarily used for pain relief and reducing inflammation. While it may be used to alleviate pain associated with CP, it is not considered a specific medication for treating the condition itself.
