Child with ICP

From the moment the child’s medical record shows a diagnosis of cerebral palsy, his relatives do not leave the feeling of fear, grief and doom, because in their understanding, such a diagnosis means helplessness and isolation from normal full-fledged life.

Cerebral palsy or cerebral palsy is a complex of disorders that affect a person’s ability to move, maintain balance and posture. The word “cerebral” indicates a condition affecting the brain, and “paralysis” means “weakness”, difficulty controlling the muscles.

Cerebral palsy develops due to a violation of the normal development of the Central nervous system or damage to the brain, which affects the ability to control your muscles. The manifestations of the disease are diverse, and correspond to the severity of the condition of a child with cerebral palsy: from the need for outside help throughout life, to the ability to walk using special means, or even completely independently.

Cerebral palsy (cerebral palsy) does not progress over time, however, individual symptoms may change over the course of life: if you do not treat a child with cerebral palsy.

In all cases, cerebral palsy (cerebral palsy) is manifested by motor disorders.
