Treating spasticity as a common problem in CP rather than a subtype
I found this article through the MEDRS search. It proposes that the most common problem in cerebral palsy is spasticity, and treats spastic CP management without ever explicitly calling it 'spastic CP' or discussing it as a subtype of CP. --122.108.141.214 (talk) 20:41, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Intro section
Hi all! I added some citations and found a cited statistic about percentage of cases that are spastic CP. I also elaborated about the specific part of the brain/cerebral cortex most commonly affected. --Wikiwheels93 (talk) 01:11, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

I added some more to this section and described the major subtypes of spastic CP by affected area. Also, I think it's important to note that CP related brain injuries do not worsen over time but the cumulative effects of spasticity can change the way CP affects folks with age so I cited that. Added citations as well. --Wikiwheels93 (talk) 22:16, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

symptom section
did an overhaul of the symptom section because it was largely uncited--Wikiwheels93 (talk) 01:08, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
