Cerebral palsy treatment in Türkiye

Cerebral palsy is treated in Türkiye within rehabilitation centers and physiotherapy. As the treatment revolves around the rehabilitation of the patient’s motor and neurological functions

Cerebral palsy : It is one of the diseases that affect the brain, and it occurs during pregnancy, during childbirth, or even after, and this type of imbalance affects brain cells. Especially the parts responsible for the movement of the body, and therefore it shows a kind of motor disability in children. The disease is a non-infectious type that only affects children up to the age of 3 and cannot affect adults.

Can cerebral palsy be treated?

Although cerebral palsy affects the motor functions of the body and the child cannot control them. Also, those jobs stop growing.

But there must be follow-up with doctors in order to avoid complications from the disease. One of the most important things left by cerebral palsy is “disorders that occur in perception. The child cannot easily perceive what is around him, as well as the disturbances that occur in sensation and how to communicate with others.” The disease often results in epilepsy .

Of course, modern science seeks to find the necessary treatments to re-grow those parts of the brain. And return the child to his normal state. Instead of living with this disability, of course, I discovered some primary treatments to eliminate the complications of the disease

What are the complications and side effects that can be avoided through the rehabilitation of patients with physical cerebral palsy?

When cerebral palsy is treated, we avoid many of the harms and problems that occur with the child. Including cases of epilepsy that occur frequently and also the following:

As a result of brain tissue damage, it produces many problems in the child. Including spasm, which occurs in the form of contraction in some parts of the body, especially the extremities of the hands and feet.
The types of contractions may decrease, but the child appears to have no control over voluntary movements.
Delayed child’s ability to perform normal movements such as sitting. And also the delay in standing and the stage of walking, and therefore all mothers must follow their children until the necessary measures are taken in the rehabilitation and treatment of cerebral palsy. Which is considered an introduction to mental retardation in some children.
Studies have been conducted and it has been proven that more than 30% of those with cerebral palsy suffer from mental retardation.

How can it be noticed that the child suffers from cerebral palsy:

The mother should be aware of the normal stages of development of the child

In the first months, the child can move limbs, such as the leg that he extends in the air, and the hands as well.
The second month the child can reach the feet by hand and play in his feet.
Communicate with children by looking, as the child can pay attention during the third month.
When the baby reaches the ninth month, he should be able to sit up. As for the 12th month, the child is in control of all his movements, such as sitting, standing, walking, and so on. And so when none of those notes are observed.
You should consult a therapist, even if you are in Türkiye or abroad, as the best center is at the state level.

What are the types of cerebral palsy?

Spastic cerebral palsy

It is considered one of the most well-known types of cerebral palsy, as it affects more than 80% of cerebral palsy cases, and the patient suffers from excessive movement or disorders in the nervous system. This type of paralysis is divided into:

hemiplegia

It affects the right or left part of the body according to the injury in the brain. If it is in the right part, then paralysis is present in the left part of the body, and vice versa. Of course, this type of paralysis is considered mild, as the patient has a high ability to walk, but there is no balance and treatment that Used in that case is the use of one of the components of the body as it gives its ability to balance.

terminal paralysis

From the name, it affects the peripheral parts, but the lower ones, and the patient in that case is able to walk, but of course he suffers from side effects such as problems in the eyes, “exposed to sclerosis,” problems in the buttocks, and we find that this type of paralysis does not affect the individual with a kind of retardation, unlike other types of paralysis the other.

Ataxic cerebral palsy

The least common type of cerebral palsy and does not affect more than 10% of paralyzed patients. The muscle contractions in the hands are less than that of spastic paralysis, but the patient cannot use a pen or scissors as a result of the motor abilities in the brain being affected. The patient often suffers from hearing and vision problems, and of course when the Neglecting the patient will not improve his condition, but through the most skilled doctors in our center, we will work on rehabilitation and treatment of ataxic cerebral palsy, and within a short period, he will perform the tasks that an ordinary person performs.
