Child cerebral paralysis (abbreviated «Palsy») - a disease caused by the lesion of the brain, usually manifested in early childhood and characterized by motor disorders: paralysis, muscle weakness, coordination disruption, involuntary movements.

disease. Although muscles are amazed at children's cerebral paralysis, by no means
muscles and no nerves cause this disease.
Childish
Cerebral paralysis is usually caused by the defeat or injury of the head
brain controlling muscle movement, to childbirth, during childbirth or
Immediately after them, research has proven,
that the natives of Asia, in particular, southern India and Sri Lanka, especially prone to cerebral palsy.
High level of pigment of melanin in the skin contributes to the generation of genes,
Accelerating the beginning of the disease. Learn about the symptoms, possible reasons and
methods of treating cerebral palsy.
Symptoms of cerebral paralysis
Childish
Cerebral paralysis is usually easy to diagnose early at an early age,
when the child has not yet been fulfilled and three years. In particularly severe cases
The disease can be diagnosed in infancy (up to 3 months).
Symptoms and manifestations of cerebral palsy.
However, you can allocate a series of typical
Symptoms of this disease:
- Ataxia - work coordination disorder
muscles when performing elementary movements
- Muscular spasticity - spasm or
Tension muscles and overpriced reflexes
- Advancing when walking not on the whole stop, but on
sock
- Lacking legs
- Inability to preserve balance
- Uneven, staggering gait
- Too tense or relaxed
Tone muscle
- Some children have a centers develop due
suffered at the early age of the infectious disease of the brain, for example,
Bacterial meningitis.
- In children with congenital cerebral palsy in severe unopened
posture, their body is too relaxed or, on the contrary, intensively. Curvature
spine, undeveloped lower jaw, small head and pr. - here
Congenital defects associated with this disease.
- These symptoms as children are growing
reinforce or stay unchanged.
- Diseases and disorders like spasms,
cramps, epilepsy, speech disorders, sensory
disorders, delay in mental development, intact, etc., same
called secondary symptoms, very common.
- Child cerebral
Paralysis also arises as a result of the brain or strongest
Psychological trauma.
Causes of children's cerebral paralysis
Accurate cause of cerebral cerebral
paralysis has not yet been established, and although doctors discuss this issue throughout
several decades, to a certain conclusion they did not come. This defect
It is customary to bind not with one single disease, but with a whole near
Disorders.
The most common causes of cerebral paralysis:
- The likelihood of cerebral palsy
premature babies are much higher than full-fledged.
- This disease is especially subject to
Children, during childbirth, asphyxia or having generic injury.
-
If after birth, the child will not shout in
the course of the first five minutes of life or if it remains in the incubator for four
and more weeks, or if hemorrhage in the brain happened, probability
Increased infection increases, and therefore rises and the risk of cerebral palsy.
- Twins or triples have low weight when
Birth, which makes them vulnerable to the development of cerebral palsy.
- Certain type infection can pass
from mother child during and after delivery, which can also lead to cerebral palsy.
- The probability of a cerebral palsy increases in
The time of delivery in the pelvic preservation of the fetus, as a result of the use of analgesics
or breaking the airborne membrane (this can lead to infection).
- The likelihood of cerebral palsy in children,
Moved to the cranial injury, meningitis or blood hemorrhage.
- Accurate cause of cerebral palsy in each
Specifable case it is impossible to install.
Treatment
cerebral Paralych
Unfortunately, it is impossible to completely
cure, but therapy will improve the child's condition. Treatment
Palsy is carried out primarily by training physical and mental
functions to reduce the severity of the neurological defect. For
Improvements of muscle function use physiotherapy and labor therapy. Treatment
In the early stages of the disease, it helps to partially overcome development defects,
Helps learn how to perform the necessary actions and tasks. With proper treatment
PRS Child can learn to lead almost normal life.
Here are the possible options
Treatment of children's cerebral paralysis:
- Speech therapy (Classes from the speech therapist) - helps
learn how to manage the muscles in the mouth, cope with problems with chewing
food and articulation of sounds.
- Physiotherapy and labor therapy - helps
Maximize the functions of the body and take individual restrictions imposed
the disease so that in the further patient could lead more or less independent
a life.
- Medicinal treatment helps
Control convulsions, remove muscle spasms and pain
- Use of orthopedic devices,
For example, bracket
- Use of wheelchairs
- Surgical intervention
Correction of anatomical deformations and relaxation of tense muscles
- Use of communications tools,
For example, computers and speech synthesizers.
