Physical therapy is a health discipline that usually accompanies subjects with movement disorders. The role of physical therapy in Cerebral Palsy is dynamic and adjusted to new technical and scientific advances.
What is cerebral palsy? The definition of Cerebral Palsy is a non-specific and broad term with different characteristics and classifications. While opting for the Therapy CP treatment in India, you need to have a decent idea for the same. We know that it occurs due to an immature brain injury and that it occurs in 2-3 children out of 1000, according to the European registry, without showing differences between the sexes. This brain injury is permanent, which means that no treatment cures or eliminates it. Still, currently there are different treatments in the different areas of neuro-rehabilitation that offer us the possibility of therapy to improve the quality of life and the functionality of these children in their day-to-day activities both in the socio-family environment and at school with their classmates. Also, other disorders such as: • Sensory disorders • Perceptual disorders • Cognitive disorders • Communication disorders • Visual and hearing disorders • Urinary incontinence • Epilepsy • Secondary musculoskeletal problems • Pain The classification, according to the nature of movement disorders, is classified as: Spasticity: a velcity-dependent increase in tone at stretching.

From the field of Physical therapy, the main objective is not to lose functionality in the motor and musculoskeletal aspects through different types of techniques that work to improve motor control, balance, strength, joint stability, and cardio-resistance. Among them, we promote the strengthening and empowerment of the spastic muscle, the reduction of muscle contractions, the reduction of gait, the enhancement of the proprioceptive system, the increase in both selective motor control and postural control, and the improvement of balance with different techniques supported by all them by scientific evidence. |
