Cerebral palsy can result in a range of symptoms in children, including speech and language difficulties, sensory impairments, disorganization, motor skill challenges, visual problems, shakiness, seizures, poor balance, coordination issues, muscle stiffness, and exaggerated reflexes. Our approach focuses on a holistic system of treatments encompassing nutrition, physical therapy, sensory therapy, speech therapy, and cognitive interventions. Recent advances have improved the management of cerebral palsy, with physiotherapy playing a crucial role. Physiotherapy aims to promote movement, build strength, prevent muscle weakening and contractures, which can limit bone and muscle development. Speech and language therapy helps with communication, while occupational therapy addresses everyday task difficulties. Additionally, emerging methods leverage brain neuroplasticity.
