How to Diagnose Cerebral Palsy

Treatment of children with cerebral palsy begins with the diagnosis of this disease. Many of the characteristic signs, especially at an early age, are not clearly expressed, so parents need to listen to the opinion of the doctor who regularly examines the child.

Attention should be paid to the development of the baby.–There should be no delay in controlling the head, turning over on the tummy, sitting, holding objects and walking. Unconditional reason to see a doctor appears when observing symptoms such as:

• The appearance of seizures.
• Uncoordinated, jerky, slow or wormlike unnatural movements.
• Muscles are too relaxed or, conversely, constantly and excessively tense.
• At the age of 1 month with a loud sound, the child does not blink.
• At the age of 4 months, the baby does not turn his head to the sound, can not take a toy in his hand.
• After 7 months, the baby cannot sit alone.
• At one year of age, he cannot pronounce simple words, a clear preference for the right or left hand is revealed during motor activity.
• Any type of strabismus, where the eye can be directed inward or outward.
• The child can not walk, and if he walks, his gait is very tight or abnormal.

All these signs are characteristic of children with cerebral palsy and are the reason for going to the clinic, where a diagnosis will be made and a rehabilitation course will be prescribed. And you need to contact as soon as possible, since the treatment of the early stage of cerebral palsy is much easier and more successful than in adult patients whose nervous system has formed.

How the treatment works

In our center we provide high-quality rehabilitation services for patients diagnosed with this disease, and we successfully work with both children and adults. Treatment of cerebral palsy in children is aimed at achieving three main goals:

• Restoration of motor functions and skills.
• Development of cognitive abilities.
• Removal of various speech defects.

This is achieved with the help of unique complex techniques, including those developed by our specialists. We provide a direct effect on the tissues of the brain and vestibular nervous system, including areas responsible for muscle motility and coordination.

Changing the functionality of these tissues leads to a beneficial effect on muscle tone, coordination, balance. This allows you to teach the child the skills necessary for his life–The ability to keep balance, which means sitting, then standing and walking. Among the methods that include the treatment of cerebral palsy in children, we use the following:

• Micropolarization.
• Translingual neurostimulation.
• Bioacoustic correction.
• Massage and exercise.
• Speech correction.
• Microcurrent reflexology.
• Mioneurostimulation.

In addition, motor and psychological rehabilitation of children and adults with cerebral palsy is carried out, which allows to achieve positive results prolonged in time.

Results of rehabilitation

Comprehensive medical and social rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy allows to achieve sustainable positive dynamics of their condition. Depending on the severity of the patient's brain damage, the following improvements occur:

• The patient learns to walk independently or with support, can sit for a long time, holding the trunk.
• Muscle tone is normalized.
• Improved coordination and control of the body.
• Convulsive syndrome is relieved.

It should be noted that to achieve a greater effect, a repetition of the course may be necessary. Treatment of cerebral palsy in adult patients can also significantly improve their condition, but this requires more time and effort, and constant independent work on yourself.

When conducting a study of the effectiveness of rehabilitation using the general motor control FMS scale, this indicator significantly improved in all patients. In addition, an f-MRI survey was conducted, which fully confirmed the data obtained.

Rehabilitation center for children with cerebral palsy - Neuro-clinic offers the most modern techniques that can significantly improve the patient's condition. Our specialists regularly improve their skills, which allows us to constantly improve the results. Affordable price for all procedures and courses makes it possible to get effective help to everyone who needs it.
