Cerebral Palsy Rehabilitation

What is Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral Palsy refers to a group of disorders that affect a person’s ability to move and maintain posture and balance. It is caused by abnormal development or damage to the parts of the brain that control movement, often occurring before, during, or shortly after birth.

While the condition is non-progressive (the brain injury does not worsen over time), its physical effects can change as the person grows or ages, requiring ongoing therapy and support.

STypes of Cerebral Palsy

Mixed CP – A combination of the above symptoms
Spastic CP – Characterised by muscle stiffness and tightness, the most common form
Dyskinetic CP – Involves uncontrollable, slow movements
Ataxic CP – Affects balance and coordination

Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy

Symptoms vary depending on the type and severity of the condition and may include:

Muscle stiffness (spasticity) or floppiness
Involuntary movements or tremors
Poor coordination and balance
Difficulty with walking or motor skills
Delayed speech or communication challenges
Swallowing or feeding difficulties
Joint deformities or abnormal posture

These challenges can range from mild to severe and often require a tailored, multidisciplinary approach to care.
