Cerebral Palsy Care
Lifelong management strategies promoting maximum independence, and supporting adults aging with Cerebral Palsy.
What is Cerebral Palsy?
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a group of disorders that affect a person's ability to move and maintain balance and posture. While the brain injury that causes CP does not progress, the physical impact on the body certainly changes and often worsens as a person ages.
Adults with CP often experience accelerated aging of the musculoskeletal system. Providing long-term care for CP involves managing joint contractures, severe spasticity, and addressing secondary conditions like osteoarthritis and chronic pain.
Common Symptoms
- Severe muscle spasticity and joint contractures
- Chronic pain and early-onset osteoarthritis
- Difficulty walking or complete reliance on a wheelchair
- Swallowing and speech difficulties
- Scoliosis and postural deformities
