 What is Cerebral Palsy? As we have previously spoken about, Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent disorders that affect movement and posture. It occurs when the developing brain is injured or doesn’t develop typically. Because CP impacts how the brain communicates with the muscles, individuals may experience challenges with mobility, balance, strength, and coordination. Every person with CP is unique. Some may walk independently, some may use walking aids or wheelchairs, and others may need support with daily activities. What’s consistent, however, is that the right therapeutic approach can make a meaningful difference in strength, movement, and independence over time. Understanding Mobility Challenges in Children With CP People with CP often face a combination of movement-related difficulties, including: Spasticity: Increased muscle tone that causes stiffness or tightness. Muscle Weakness: Especially in the core and lower limbs, making movement harder. Coordinati...

  What is Cerebral Palsy? Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent disorders aff ecting movement and posture, leading to potential activity limitations. These disorders are caused by non progressive disturbances that occur in the developing fetal or infant brain. While CP presents lifelong challenges, growing evidence shows that strength and conditioning training can significantly enhance quality of life. understanding the role of physical training is key to improving function, confidence and independence for individuals with CP.  Causes and Risk Factors  CP results from damage to the immature brain, which can happen before, during or shortly after birth  Prenatal causes (before birth) include infections during pregnancy, placental issues, and maternal health problems such as preeclampsia  Perinatal causes (around the time of birth) may involve birth asphyxia (lack of oxygen), premature brith, low birth weight and complicated deliveries.  Postnatal cause...
