Cerebral Palsy: Hope Through Research: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)

These stats for cerebral palsy surprise me:

800,000 adults and children in the U.S. somehow affected by CP

10,000 babies each year will develop CP

Cerebral Palsy: Hope Through Research: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)

This one surprises me: The percentage of babie who will develop CP has remained the same over the last 30 years.

You would think with all the medical advances, the incidence of CP would have gone down.
