Understanding Cerebral Palsy in Children | Dr. Chasnal Rathod

Cerebral Palsy is a neurological condition that affects movement, muscle tone, and coordination in children. In this informative video, Dr. Chasnal Rathod, Consultant in Paediatric Orthopaedics, explains the causes, signs, and management strategies for this lifelong condition. Cerebral Palsy is often caused by brain damage that occurs before, during, or shortly after birth. This damage can impact the areas of the brain responsible for motor function, resulting in a range of movement-related challenges. Common Signs of Cerebral Palsy: Delayed developmental milestones (such as sitting, crawling, or walking) Muscle stiffness or tightness (spasticity) Weakness or reduced muscle tone Tremors or involuntary movements Balance and coordination difficulties Speech and communication issues The severity of symptoms can vary from child to child, depending on the extent and location of the brain damage. Management and Treatment Approaches: Early intervention plays a crucial role in improving outcomes for children with cerebral palsy. Treatment is usually multi-disciplinary and may include: Physical therapy: To strengthen muscles, improve mobility, and enhance motor skills Neuro medications: To help manage muscle tone and reduce spasticity Orthotic support: Custom braces or splints to aid alignment and posture Assistive devices: Including walkers, crutches, or wheelchairs for mobility Speech and occupational therapy: To support communication and daily living skills While there is no cure for cerebral palsy, these interventions can significantly improve independence, mobility, and overall quality of life. Early recognition of signs and timely support from a pediatric care team can make a meaningful difference.
