Cerebral palsy
Download as PPT, PDF1 like893 views
Cerebral palsy is a motor disability caused by abnormal brain development before one month of age that results in a lack of normal movement control. Symptoms may not appear until 9-24 months as the brain areas controlling movement are immature. There is no cure, but physical, occupational, and behavioral therapies can help improve motor skills and independence as well as prevent deformities through medications, braces, and sometimes surgery.

This document discusses physical disabilities, their causes, types, and treatments. There are two major categories of physical disability: musculo-skeletal, involving muscular or bone issues; and neuro-muscular, involving the nervous system. Specific conditions described include loss of limbs, cerebral palsy, polio, and spinal cord injuries. Treatments aim to improve function through rehabilitation programs like occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and speech therapy. The goal is to help people with physical disabilities live as independently as possible.Muscle dystrophy

Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetic disorders characterized by a progressive loss of muscle mass and strength. The most common form is Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which affects young boys and causes muscle weakness, difficulty walking, and breathing and cardiac problems. There is currently no cure for muscular dystrophy, but symptoms can be improved and progression slowed through treatments, while researchers are testing gene therapy as a potential cure.[Infographic] Living with Glaucoma![[Infographic] Living with Glaucoma](https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/livingwithglaucoma-140130095333-phpapp01-thumbnail.jpg?width=560&fit=bounds)

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can damage vision slowly over time by damaging the optic nerve. There are two main types - primary open-angle glaucoma and angle-closure glaucoma. Primary open-angle glaucoma may cause gradual vision loss and tunnel vision, while angle-closure glaucoma causes sudden, severe blurred vision and eye pain. Risk factors include high eye pressure, family history, age over 60, and certain medical conditions. An accurate diagnosis requires an eye exam and assessment of quality of life impacts such as problems with mobility, self-care, and activities like driving or reading. Treatment options include eye drop medications, laser surgery, other surgeries, and low vision rehabilitation.The Bare Bones of Arthritis

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of disorders caused by damage to the developing brain before, during or after birth. It affects movement and posture, and can cause physical disability. The main types are spastic, athetoid, ataxic and hypotonic CP. Symptoms vary depending on the type and severity. CP is diagnosed based on signs of impaired motor development and abnormal muscle tone or movement. There is no cure for CP, but treatment aims to improve ability and quality of life through therapies and medications.The help guide to cerebral palsy 2ed

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a nonprogressive disorder of movement and posture caused by damage to the developing brain before, during, or shortly after birth. It is not a single disease but rather a syndrome with a variety of static neuromotor impairments. The brain damage is permanent but the consequences can be minimized. CP was first described in 1861 and was originally thought to be caused by neonatal asphyxia, but it is now known that a variety of prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal brain insults can cause CP.Depression among chronically ill children

Dwarfism is defined as an adult height of 4 feet 10 inches or under due to an underlying medical condition. It is caused by genetic mutations or disorders that affect bone growth and development. The most common type of dwarfism is achondroplasia which causes disproportionate short stature with normal trunk and short limbs. Other types include diastrophic dysplasia and spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia. While height cannot be increased, treatment focuses on managing related health issues through surgery or hormone therapy.Cerebral palsy by dr.asim

Dwarfism is a condition characterized by short stature and can be caused by over 200 genetic and medical conditions. There are two main types: disproportionate dwarfism where the trunk is average size but the limbs are shortened, and proportionate dwarfism where all body parts are shortened proportionately. Treatment depends on the type - disproportionate dwarfism may be treated with surgery to lengthen bones while proportionate dwarfism can use hormone treatments like growth hormone to increase height. While dwarfism cannot be prevented, early diagnosis and treatment can help reduce its impacts on quality of life.8 9 a,ryan shaw,achondroplasia

Dwarfism is defined as an adult height of 4'10" or under and results from medical conditions that affect growth. It can be caused by metabolic disorders during infancy/childhood, chromosomal abnormalities, pituitary gland disorders, kidney disease, or problems absorbing nutrients. Anyone can be affected by dwarfism, as it can result from genetic mutations. The most common form is achondroplasia, which causes features like an enlarged head and bowed legs. Other types include spondyloepiphyseal dysplasias and diastrophic dysplasia. Dwarfism is diagnosed through physical exams, x-rays at birth or later genetic testing, and can be treated with physical and occupational therapy.3.1.5 prof anne kavanagh

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a physical impairment that affects movement and motor skills. It is caused by abnormalities in the developing brain, often before birth. Common causes include low birth weight, premature birth, infections, and lack of oxygen. CP affects areas like the cortex, basal ganglia, and cerebellum. It can cause spasticity, ataxia, or dyskinesia. Symptoms vary from mild to severe and may include issues with mobility, muscle tone, coordination, speech, and secondary effects like pain, fatigue, and depression. As people with CP age, secondary effects can worsen earlier than normal. Challenging behaviors are also common, especially for those with intellectual disabilities orCerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is a condition caused by damage to the developing brain that affects a child's ability to move. It has a wide range of symptoms and characteristics depending on the severity, such as poor muscle tone, coordination, balance and speech. Cerebral palsy can impact a child's physical, social, emotional, cognitive and language development. Providing therapies, exercises, communication devices and a supportive environment can help address implications and promote development. Modifications may be needed to ensure full inclusion and participation of children with cerebral palsy.際際滷show

Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that affect movement and posture, caused by abnormal development or damage to the brain. It appears early in life and causes disabilities like slow learning of movements. There are three main types - spastic, athetoid, and ataxic - depending on the affected part of the brain. Cerebral palsy is usually caused by issues during pregnancy or early childhood like prematurity, lack of oxygen, infection, or genetic abnormalities. Symptoms range from minor motor difficulties to inability to walk or involuntary movements. Research aims to find treatments and cures.際際滷show Copy

Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that affect movement and muscle coordination, appearing in early childhood. It can be caused by complications during pregnancy like infection or problems with brain development. Babies at higher risk are premature, low birth weight, or had complicated labor. Signs include poor balance, shaky movements, and abnormal speech or gait. Diagnosis involves neurological exams and scans. Treatment focuses on physical, occupational and speech therapy as well as orthotics, medications, and sometimes surgery. Prevention involves prenatal care and immunizations.Cerebral Palsy

Spina bifida is a birth defect that results from a mistake early in the development of the spinal cord, causing difficulties with feeding, breathing, swallowing, and arm stiffness. There is no known cure for nerve damage from spina bifida, but pediatric neurosurgeons can operate to close openings on the back to prevent further damage and infection. Volunteering at organizations that help people with spina bifida is one way to provide assistance.Spina bifida

Spina bifida is a birth defect that results from a mistake early in the development of the spinal cord. It causes symptoms like a bulging spinal cord, hydrocephalus, paralysis in the lower back and legs, and bladder and bowel issues. Spina bifida is a chronic condition meaning it cannot be cured, only treated, through surgery, medication, and physiotherapy. Many people with spina bifida will require assistive devices like braces, crutches, or wheelchairs.Autism

Autism is a disorder marked by problems with social interaction and communication, as well as restrictive and repetitive behaviors. Some people are born with autism while others develop it later in life. Symptoms typically emerge between ages 2-3 and may include lack of social engagement, delayed language development, and stimming behaviors like hand flapping. While there is no cure, early intervention through specialized education programs can help children with autism improve their communication and learning skills. Providing support is important, as autism often co-occurs with conditions like intellectual disabilities, seizures, or genetic syndromes.Holley

Down Syndrome is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21. It is characterized by physical traits like a broad short skull and mental retardation. People with Down Syndrome can have mild, moderate, or severe mental retardation, but with education and training they can still lead independent lives despite their individual strengths and weaknesses. Having severe mental retardation does not mean a person cannot think or feel.Muscular dystrophy hi

Muscular dystrophy is a hereditary, progressive, and non-curable disease that causes the degeneration and weakness of skeletal muscles due to defective genes. There are several types of muscular dystrophy including Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy, which primarily affects males and can be life-threatening before age 20; limb-girdle dystrophy, which affects both genders and starts in the pelvis and legs; and facioscapulohumeral dystrophy, which relates to muscles in the face, shoulders, and arms. While there is no cure, treatment focuses on physical therapy, exercises, braces, and corrective surgery to relieve symptoms.Holley project

Down syndrome is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, causing problems with mental retardation, heart and eyesight. People with Down syndrome have distinct facial features and are usually short in stature, as babies with Down syndrome are often born smaller with fewer brain cells. Babies with Down syndrome go through cell therapy.Down syndrome

Down syndrome is a genetic condition that affects mental and physical development. People with Down syndrome may have some recognizable physical features but symptoms vary in severity. Common symptoms include delayed mental development, lack of muscle tone, and a flattened face. Individuals with Down syndrome also have an increased risk of health issues like leukemia, lung infections, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes. While there is no cure for Down syndrome, educational and physical therapies can help. Genetic counseling may help assess risks for expectant mothers.Spina bifida syndrome p3

Spina bifida is a birth defect where the spinal cord fails to develop properly, leaving it exposed or causing deformities. It has no cure and treatment focuses on managing symptoms like bowel and bladder issues. Surgery may be needed to protect exposed tissues, though function cannot be restored to damaged nerves. People with spina bifida require lifelong management to prevent complications and maximize independence through therapies and positive reinforcement.Cerebral palsy

Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects brain and nervous system functions, impacting movement, learning, and thinking. It is characterized by abnormal gait, loss of muscle movement coordination, speech problems, and potential learning disabilities. While there is no cure for cerebral palsy, victims can live independently or in institutions with treatment including doctors, therapists, braces, and mobility aids. The condition severely disables those affected and makes independent survival difficult without outside assistance.Spina bifida

Spina bifida is a birth defect where the spinal cord fails to develop properly, leaving it exposed. It can cause issues like difficulty swallowing, breathing problems while sleeping, below average intelligence, and more. Research shows repairing spina bifida while still in the womb leads to better outcomes than post-birth surgery. People can help by participating in advocacy efforts, making financial contributions, or volunteering for organizations that support those with spina bifida.Muscular dystrophy

Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder that causes progressive skeletal muscle weakness. It is characterized by defects in muscle proteins and death of muscle cells and tissue. There is no cure, but treatments include physical therapy, braces, surgery, and drug therapy. It occurs mostly in boys ages 1-4 and the main sign is muscle weakness. Those affected experience a loss of muscle control and mobility over time and most die before age 30 due to respiratory failure.Cerebral palsy

Cerebral palsy is a permanent condition affecting the brain and nervous system that is present at birth or in early childhood. It causes muscle stiffness, tremors, and problems with movement, balance, and coordination. The most common type is spastic cerebral palsy, which makes muscles stiff and contracted. Patients require lifelong care and physical therapy to help them better move and balance. Caregivers are also needed to assist those with cerebral palsy since they cannot care for themselves without help.Holley project

- 2. What is Cerebral Palsy? Cerebral palsy A motor disability evident early in life (often by one year of age and certainly by age two) that is caused by a brain abnormality present by the end of the newborn period (one month of age) and unchanged after that time. Source: Salem Health
- 3. Symptoms of cerebral Palsy affect the brain at some time before a child is one month old, resulting in a lack of normal control of movements. While problems with making normal movements may be apparent at birth, this symptom is often not noticeable until the child is nine or ten months of age; on occasion, it may not be apparent before eighteen or twenty-four months of age because the areas of the brain that control movement are immature and not very effective early in life.

- 4. Possibilities/impacts There is no cure to cerebral Palsy.
- 5. Assistance/care needed a variety of resources are available for helping the child cope with motor problems. Physical aids such as wheelchairs, walkers, and crutches have long been available. Modern ones are extremely adjustable and made of lightweight and durable materials. Lightweight plastic can be custom molded and fitted to supplement or replace the more traditional leg braces. Source: Salem health
- 6. Treatment/therapy needed Physical therapy helps interfere with involuntary and primitive reflex patterns that hinder voluntary movements. Therapy can also facilitate normal patterns of arm and leg use. Occupational therapy focuses on developing fine motor skills and improving the ability to dress, eat, write, and perform other daily activities. M
- 7. How I can help someone with CP Young people today who have cerebral palsy are better able to be independent, to achieve, and to succeed in life by using specific physical, behavioral, and other therapies. Medications and braces can improve muscle and nerve coordination. These therapies as well as surgery can sometimes prevent or correct deformities.
