It is difficult to sustain behavioural change in terms of increasing physical activity of children with CP. [15] Even though exercise is commonly recommended, there is only a small amount of evidence saying that aerobic exercise is good for gross motor function in children. [16] Exercise can increase wellness in those with cerebral palsy.
Conductive Education (CE) is an educational system, based on the work of Hungarian Professor András Pető, that has been specifically developed for children and adults who have motor disorders of neurological origin such as cerebral palsy.

Brachial plexopathy is often caused from local trauma to the brachial plexus, as can happen from a dislocated shoulder.The disorder can also be secondary to compression or stretching of the brachial plexus (for example, during a baby's transit through the birth canal, in which case it may be referred to as Erb's Palsy or Klumpke's palsy).

Cerebral palsy is the most common movement disorder in children, [13] occurring in about 2.1 per 1,000 live births. [2] It has been documented throughout history, with the first known descriptions occurring in the work of Hippocrates in the 5th century BCE. [ 14 ]
Erb's palsy has been identified as a rare neurological side effect of HGT. [43] One 2006 study published in the journal "Studies in Health Technology and Informatics" found that in extremely rare cases HGT could induce Erb's palsy, ulnar nerve paralysis, and median nerve palsy in cases. In the seven cases identified by the study, all patients ...
Specific kinds of palsy include: Bell's palsy, partial facial paralysis; Bulbar palsy, impairment of cranial nerves; Cerebral palsy, a neural disorder caused by intracranial lesions; Conjugate gaze palsy, a disorder affecting the ability to move the eyes; Erb's palsy, also known as brachial palsy, involving paralysis of an arm
