Condition
Cerebral Palsy
Movement and posture disorder from early brain injury.
Cerebral palsy is a group of permanent movement and posture disorders caused by non-progressive injury to the developing brain. While the brain injury does not worsen, function can improve substantially with physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and correct positioning.
Early signs
- Stiff or floppy muscles
- Asymmetric movement patterns
- Delayed sitting, standing or walking
- Feeding and drooling difficulties
How it is diagnosed
- Neurological examination and MRI history
- GMFCS classification
- Therapy-specific functional assessments
Our approach
- Orange delivers a long-term functional plan focused on what the family wants the child to do: sit, feed, communicate, move and attend school.
