  • Cerebral Palsy and Early Intervention - A Physiotherapist's Perspective

    Let me perhaps start by explaining what Cerebral Palsy and Early Intervention means.

    Cerebral Palsy is a very broad term given to disorders of movement and posture. The damage to the brain is in the different parts of the brain that are responsible for controlling movement. The damage is permanent but not progressive, but because we work with children who are growing, we see symptoms which appear progressive i.e. children might get tightness in their muscles or develop deformities such as curvatures in their spines which may require surgery. Other parts of the brain responsible for functions such as communication, hearing, vision and the ability to learn may also be affected. The lesions in the brain could be sustained before, during or after birth before the second year of life.
