Spastic Quadriplegia Cerebral Palsy Attorney in Chicago
What Is Spastic Quadriplegia Cerebral Palsy?
Spastic quadriplegia is a form of cerebral palsy that affects a child’s arms and legs, and in some cases the body. Spastic quadriplegia is different from quadriplegia in that it does not necessarily result in paralysis to all four limbs, but rather spasticity of the limbs that can create stiffness and involuntary movements.
Spastic quadriplegia is the most severe form of cerebral palsy, and it can result in significant impairment that greatly impacts the life of a child and their ability to meet the demands of daily life.

What Are the Causes of Spastic Quadriplegia?
Like other forms of cerebral palsy, spastic quadriplegia results from brain damage that can occur during delivery of birth. Often this brain damage results from oxygen deprivation to an unborn baby.
Medical professionals who oversee a delivery have an obligation to monitor mothers and their babies, and take appropriate steps when risks or indicators of distress present themselves. When they fail to do so, such as when a medical professional delays a C-section, a baby can suffer from oxygen deprivation and brain damage, and develop spastic quadriplegia. The severity and type of the brain damage are influential in how and when symptoms appear.
Common Symptoms of Spastic Quadriplegia
The most common impacts of spastic quadriplegia on the victim's life are:
- Joints that are restricted from movement
- Muscle tightness or spastic movements
- Seizures
- Cognitive disabilities
- Muscle tremors
- Muscles that quickly and frequently contract then release
Your child's entire body can be affected if he or she is suffering from spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy. Children who suffer with this disease are also at a higher risk of developing limb deformities.
Another common issue is deformities of the limb or ankle. Additionally, other complications can occur throughout the child's lifetime.
