ABSTRACT

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a public health problem worldwide, being the leading cause of childhood disability. Throughout history, many investigations have been present to try to understand, define and classify cerebral palsy. The development of classifications has been problematic, describing in history different classification systems. Each system takes the clinical description of motor disorders, finding associations between clinical types and etiology, epidemiological studies and therapeutic intervention in mind.
