What Role Does Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy Play?
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is another significant cause of motor deficits. HIE occurs when an infant’s brain doesn’t receive enough oxygen and blood. This can happen due to complications during delivery or severe respiratory issues after birth. The severity of motor deficits in HIE can vary, depending on the extent and location of the brain injury.
