Cerebral Palsy
Comprehensive Multi-Disciplinary Neuro-Rehabilitation
Overview
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a motor disorder affecting muscle tone, movement, and posture. We offer a holistic, customized rehabilitation plan to maximize your child's functional independence.
Our interventions combine physical rehabilitation, medical management of muscle tightness, and adaptive equipment advice.
Common Symptoms & Indications
- ✕ Stiff muscles with exaggerated reflexes (spasticity)
- ✕ Floppy muscle tone in infancy
- ✕ Walking on toes or with a scissor-like gait
- ✕ Difficulty swallowing or speaking
Clinical Procedure & Diagnostics
Detailed tone evaluation, dynamic gait assessment, prescription of braces (AFOs), medical management of spasticity (e.g., oral baclofen), and intensive physical therapy.
Key Recovery Benefits
- ✓ Maximized physical independence
- ✓ Prevention of joint contractures and deformities
- ✓ Improved walking pattern
- ✓ Comprehensive developmental support
Rehabilitation & Recovery Timeline
Tone Assessment
Detailed evaluation of muscle spasticity and joint range.
Multimodal Therapy
Combining medication, custom splinting, and neuro-physiotherapy.
Functional Training
Training in walking aids, transfers, and daily self-care tasks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Cerebral Palsy is caused by abnormal brain development or damage to the developing brain before, during, or shortly after birth.
Many children with CP can walk independently or with assistance (walkers/crutches) if they receive early, consistent neuro-rehabilitation.
No, the underlying brain injury does not worsen over time. However, muscle tightness and joint stiffness can worsen without regular physiotherapy.
Early therapy takes advantage of the young brain's plasticity, helping children develop alternative pathways for movement and motor control.
