WHat is Cp?
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a neurological disorder caused by brain damage. It is the most common motor and movement disability in children.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a problem that affects muscle tone, movement, and motor skills. It hinders the body’s ability to move in a coordinated and purposeful way. It also can affect other body functions that involve motor skills and muscles, like breathing, bladder and bowel control, eating, and talking.
CP is often caused by brain damage that happens before, during or after a baby’s birth. Cerebral palsy causes a range of disabilities, from mild to severe. Every child with CP is different. They display different symptoms depending on the severity of the disorder and the type of CP they have.
In India, 3 children from every 1000 live births develop Cerebral Palsy.
Treating Cerebral palsy
There’s no cure for cerebral palsy. But resources and therapies can help kids grow and develop to their greatest potential.
The key to treating Cerebral Palsy kids is early intervention and high quality rehabilitation that is customised to their requirements. The earlier a child is diagnosed and treatment is started, the better the prognosis will be.
This is exactly what we do at the Sei Sanjeevani Cerebral Palsy Care Centre. Children are assessed and a customised treatment plan is formed for them. Following this, our therapists take over, and administer high quality rehab for our #CPWarriors.
