SPASTIC TRIPLEGIA CEREBRAL PALSY

Triplegia is a classification of cerebral palsy where the disability affects three limbs. Some medical experts consider the condition as a combination of diplegia and hemiplegia or quadriplegia, with a single limb less affected. In most cases it involves both the child’s legs and one arm.

Most victims suffer from spastic triplegia cerebral palsy which is characterized by stiff jerky movements and a general lack of co-ordination together with involuntary movements and poor muscle tone.

This general condition can be classified into four types based on the symptoms: ataxic, spastic, athetoid and mixed cerebral palsy and further categorized based on the number of affected limbs: monoplegia, diplegia, triplegia, hemiplegia and quadriplegia.
