context_section_description: Despite advancements made in the field of medicine and allied fields the exact cause of cerebral palsy remains unclear. About 50% of all children who develop cerebral palsy were born prematurely. Premature infants are at higher risk because their organs are not yet fully developed, increasing the risk of asphyxia and other injury to the brain. Some other causes of cerebral palsy are asphyxia, hypoxia of the brain, birth trauma, premature birth, multiple birth and certain infections in the mother during and before birth. Other major cause of cerebral palsy after birth in developing nations like India is medical neglect. Many signboards and other visual materials are displayed at prominent places for spreading awareness amongst people about precautions to be taken at prenatal, at time of delivery and at post natal levels to avoid incidence of deformities.
