To go around in the community yes...in the house maybe not. It all depend on how bad that person has it. They maybe able to ambulate around the house on crutches, but for long distances you need a wheelchair

Not generally. People are affected in different ways and to different extents by it. I think some of them do, because of which muscles are influenced and how seriously.

It affects people in different ways, so depending of the severity of the condition some will need a wheelchair all the time and some wont need one at all.

Depending on the age and weight of the child and the severity of the CP eventually some children with CP will need a wheel chair after they have out grown a pushchair.
