Cerebral palsy and other conditions affecting the neuromuscular system remain largely unaddressed in low-resource settings. Prevention is better than treatment, and requires improvements in antenatal care to treat the complications of pregnancy as well as better care for postnatal infections. A subset of patients will benefit from surgical procedures if the proper indications are met and rehabilitation services are available.
