Diplegic Cerebral Palsy Prognosis Per the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NCBI), prognosis is favorable for children with diplegic CP. As previously mentioned, diplegic CP is the least invasive type of CP, affecting mainly the legs. [birthinjuryguide.org]
What is the Prognosis for Diplegia? Diplegia is one of the most unpredictable forms of paralysis, so even severe cases may improve with time. Outcomes are ultimately dependent upon the cause of the diplegia, as well as the quality of care. [spinalcord.com]
