Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders affecting movement and muscle tone, caused by brain damage during development. It can lead to challenges in coordination, balance, and posture. Symptoms vary in severity and may include spasticity or involuntary movements. Early intervention through therapy and support can enhance mobility and independence in affected individuals.
Signs and symptoms of CP can vary greatly. Movement and coordination problems associated with cerebral palsy include:
Variations in muscle tone, such as being either too stiff or too floppy
Stiff muscles and exaggerated reflexes (spasticity)
Stiff muscles with normal reflexes (rigidity)
Lack of balance and muscle coordination (ataxia)
Tremors or involuntary movements
Slow, writhing movements
Delays in reaching motor skills milestones, such as pushing up on arms, sitting up or crawling
Favoring one side of the body, such as reaching with one hand or dragging a leg while crawling
Difficulty walking, such as walking on toes, a crouched gait, a scissors-like gait with knees crossing, a wide gait or an asymmetrical gait
Excessive drooling or problems with swallowing
Difficulty with sucking or eating
Delays in speech development or difficulty speaking
Learning difficulties
Difficulty with fine motor skills, such as buttoning clothes or picking up utensils
Seizures
A comprehensive rehabilitation program is critical to successful recovery of patients with spinal cord injury and re-integration into society / community. We focus on:
Strength and Movement Therapy using MotoMed. This provides much more effective and intense therapy for arms and legs compared with manual therapy alone.
Focused programs to reduce CP spasticity
Brain Stimulation to promote motor learning
Cognitive therapy to improve intellectual abilities
Functional electric stimulation
Manual physical therapy
Gait training
Computerized balance and coordination training
A4 Clinics provides intense rehab program for Cerebral Palsy. Our goal is MAXIMAL FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY for the patient with cerebral palsy.
