Generally there are three types of cerebral palsy which are described below-

Ataxia - In ataxia cerebral palsy the cerebellum of patient is damages which lead to problems body balance especially when patient is walking. The disease rate of ataxia cerebral palsy is ten percent of all cases of CP, and this type of cerebral palsy is very rare. Some patients who suffered from ataxia CP have hypotonic-like features. Normally these patients have auditory or visual processing of things or objects difficulties. These patients also feel difficulty is balancing their body or you can say they are instability in terms of gravity.

Athetoid or dyskinetic – athetoid cerebral palsy or dyskinetic cerebral palsy found in twenty percent cases of all cases of CP. In this type of cerebral palsy there is damage occurs in or pyramidal tract or and extrapyramidal motor system and in basal ganglia. Patients suffered from this type of cerebral palsy have problems in body movements

Spastic – The rate of spastic cerebral palsy is too high, seventy percent of total cases of CP are of spastic cerebral palsy. Patients who suffered from this type of cerebral palsy have damage in pyramidal track, motor cortex or corticospinal tract. Spastic cerebral palsy covers most of the patient of CP so the need to study and research this type of cerebral palsy is must. Spastic cerebral palsy is also classified in sub categories depending on the body part affected.
