What are the diagnostic tests used to confirm cerebral palsy?

Diagnostic tests used to confirm cerebral palsy may include:

1. Neurological examination: Assessing reflexes, muscle tone, coordination, and motor skills.
2. Brain imaging: Such as MRI or CT scans to identify brain abnormalities.
3. Electroencephalogram (EEG): Evaluating electrical brain activity to detect seizures or abnormal patterns.
4. Genetic testing: To identify specific genetic disorders associated with cerebral palsy.
5. Blood tests: Ruling out other conditions that may have similar symptoms.
6. Developmental assessments: Evaluating developmental milestones and delays.
7. Movement analysis: Utilizing specialized technology to assess movement patterns and coordination.
