The disease often includes other connections in the brain involving the cortex and parts of the cerebellum as well. The term "palsy" refers to the disorder of movement. Cerebral palsy causes damage to the motor control centers of the brain and can occur during different parts of pregnancy and birth. Approximately 75% of cerebral palsy cases occur during pregnancy and approximately 5% occur during birth. Additionally, it can occur after childbirth up to about age three. Cerebral palsy occurs in an average of 2 to 3 babies out of 1000 live births. There has also been a slight increase in these numbers in recent years.
