Answer

The clinical diagnosis of cerebral palsy primarily manifests as motor and sensory impairments, which can be categorized into different types based on the nature of symptoms, including severe pain type, involuntary movement type, ataxic type, dystonic type, and mixed type. According to the number of limbs affected, it can be classified into monoplegia, hemiplegia, diplegia, triplegia, and quadriplegia.
