Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a group of permanent disorders impacting body movement, posture, and muscle coordination. It's a lifelong condition; however, symptoms may change as a child grows.

Key Aspects:

  • Cerebral: Means your brain.
  • Palsy: Means muscle weakness or issues with using muscles.

Unmanaged Cerebral Palsy can lead to worsening physical limitations such as contractures, joint dislocations, and spinal deformities (scoliosis), eye muscle imbalance, increased pain, etc.; hence, timely treatment is required.

Cerebral palsy isn't curable, but with the right treatment, symptoms and effects are treatable. Treatment for Cerebral Palsy at Walk Again (child neuro rehab centre) comes with intensive physical, occupational, and speech therapies, gait training with advanced devices, and neurodevelopmental techniques. This helps maximize patient independence and improve quality of life through customized and hands-on approaches.

Our experts, like Dr. Sachin Kandhari, with 20 years of experience, are known to provide holistic care for cerebral palsy to enhance the outcome of the treatment.

How Neuro Rehab Can Help Children with Cerebral Palsy & Autism

How Does Cerebral Palsy Lead to Posture and/or a Movement Disorder?

Here is the simple explanation of how cerebral palsy leads to posture and/or a movement disorder:

Step1: Disturbed Signals of the Brain

CP happens from brain damage or abnormal development; it can generally occur before birth (most common), during birth, or within the first 2 years of life. This brain damage interferes with the brain's ability to communicate proper signals to muscles.

Step2: Affected Motor Control Pathways 

Damage to brain areas such as the basal ganglia or pyramidal tracts hinders communication between the motor cortex and spinal cord. This impairs movement control.

Step3: Muscle Tone and Reflexes

The impairment leads to:

  • Stiff muscles and exaggerated reflexes
  • Floppy or loose muscles
  • Involuntary and uncontrolled movements

Step4: Poor Posture and Balance

The inability to control muscles makes:

  • Balance and posture difficult to maintain
  • Irregular postures
  • Unsteady walking
  • Floppy limbs

When to Consult a Doctor for CP

Immediately contact your doctor if you notice the following symptoms in your child: 

  • Not walking by expected ages (e.g., no sitting by 7 months)
  • Unusually small head (microcephaly) or an unusually large head (macrocephaly)
  • Delayed milestones, like not rolling over, sitting, or crawling
  • Poor balance
  • Uncoordinated movements
  • A child's legs might cross when picked up
  • Reflexes that continue longer than they should
  • Excessive drooling
