Abstract in brief

  • Early diagnosis of cerebral palsy (CP) can now be made before 6 months of age, which is earlier than the traditional 12-24 months, allowing for more prompt intervention.
  • The study reviewed high-quality evidence from various medical databases and found that specific clinical signs, along with standardized tools like MRI, the Prechtl General Movements assessment, and the Hammersmith Exam, are effective for predicting CP risk before 5 months.
  • Early intervention following diagnosis aims to harness neuroplasticity—brain's ability to reorganize—to improve outcomes, and the review emphasizes combining clinical signs with advanced tools for accurate early detection.
