Cerebral palsy
Physiotherapy, is a crucial part of managing cerebral palsy (CP) in children. Physical therapy helps children develop skills like standing, walking, and climbing stairs. The goal is to help children achieve as much independence as possible in daily activities.
Development Delays
Developmental delays in children can affect various areas such as gross motor skills, fine motor skills, speech and language, cognitive abilities, and social and emotional development. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in addressing these delays by providing tailored interventions to help children reach their developmental milestones.
Dystonia
Dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions, which can cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. In children, dystonia can affect various parts of the body, including the feet, legs, hands, face, and neck.
Athetosis
Athetosis is a type of movement disorder characterized by slow, involuntary, writhing movements, often affecting the hands, feet, and face. It is commonly seen in children with cerebral palsy.
Down syndrome
Down syndrome is a genetic condition where a child is born with an extra copy of chromosome. This extra genetic material affects the development of the brain and body. Physiotherapy can be highly beneficial for children with Down syndrome.
Hemiparesis
