Living with infantile cerebral palsy (ICP): everyday life, therapy & goals
Do you know the disease ICP or infantile cerebral palsy? www.pohlig.net...
17-year-old Julian was born with it. It is an early childhood brain damage that can lead to disturbances in posture, movement and coordination. The ability to communicate can also be impaired in ICP patients, depending on the exact location and extent of the brain damage.
Causes and symptoms
ICP is usually the result of a combination of events that occur either in the womb, or during or after birth. By the second year of life, CP can be caused by damage to the still-developing brain.
One of the most common causes of ICP is premature birth - or rather, a series of events during pregnancy that lead to premature birth. Other risk factors that can cause cerebral palsy include:
• lack of oxygen in the womb or during birth
• infection of the mother in early pregnancy
• multiple births (twins, triplets, etc.)
• Thrombophilia
• low birth weight
• severe jaundice shortly after birth
Symptoms of infantile cerebral palsy (ICP) usually appear in early infancy. Depending on the severity of the brain damage, the severity of the disorders is individual for each ICP patient.
The muscles in the arms and/or legs can be affected in different ways (spastic muscle stiffness). While many children show only mild symptoms, such as a weak hand that has difficulty grasping and writing, spastic paralysis can occur in more severe cases. Severely affected patients are sometimes unable to move independently and require permanent care. The motor difficulties are often accompanied by additional impairments of the sensory organs and related communication, perception and behavior.
