Cerebral palsy is a condition that develops before, during or after birth following damage to the central nervous system. In children, it is characterised by an increase or decrease in normal tonus and impaired motor and sensory skills.
Causes:
- Pregnancy Period: The health of the baby may be affected by the mother’s chronic diseases, infections and medications.
- During labour: Factors such as oxygen deprivation, brain haemorrhage, premature birth and low weight may cause it.
- After Birth: Cerebral Palsy can be caused by conditions such as brain inflammation, brain haemorrhage or brain trauma.
Rehabilitation:
Following the evaluation of a specialist doctor and paediatric physiotherapist, a treatment programme is created.
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation aims to apply appropriate treatment methods by determining the needs of the child.
- It is important to start in the early period. The aim of the rehabilitation programme is to prevent the establishment of wrong strategies with appropriate positioning and appropriate techniques in the early period, and then to ensure the independence of the individual as much as possible and to improve the quality of life.
