  Cerebral Palsy is a neurological condition caused by impairment to the brain which results mainly in musculo-skeletal difficulties so walking, movements, balance and muscle tone can be affected. There are different types of cerebral palsy. I think you may be thinking of dyskinetic CP where the muscle tone fluctuates. I would recommend reading the information on the Scope website about CP and the different types - http://www.scope.org.uk/support/families/diagnosis/cerebral-palsy

  Really interesting question. I have not noticed myself weakening and I put the stiffness down to aging. Maybe I need to research!
