- Infantile cerebral palsy (ICP) | How can physiotherapy help?
His right hand and leg don't do what George wants.... The 10-year-old has cerebral palsy (www.pohlig.net..., which results in a partially paralyzed right side of his body. There is some strength in the affected arm and leg, but nowhere near as much as on the left.
Similar to Georg, many ICP patients suffer from movement disorders: they cannot control their muscles sufficiently. Because Georg's right side of the body is used less in everyday life than the healthy left, the student undergoes regular physiotherapy. Our Pohlig physiotherapist Ines shows Georg and his mom how he can stretch and mobilize his weaker hand and foot at home.
Aids such as leg and arm orthoses also help Georg cope better with his condition. ✌🏼
Therapy for infantile cerebral palsy
Infantile cerebral palsy (ICP) is unfortunately not curable. However, an individual treatment concept that is optimally tailored to the child can improve functions and abilities and prevent possible secondary complications.
Interdisciplinary teamwork plays a central role in the therapy of CP patients. Only when physicians, prosthetists, therapists, patients and parents all pull together optimal treatment results can be achieved.
Physiotherapists and occupational therapists carry out regular functional training sessions with the affected patients. For this purpose, functional goals are set together with the parents that are challenging on the one hand, but at the same time realistic and achievable. For example, if the child wants to learn to ride a bicycle, the physiotherapist or occupational therapist plans appropriate movements into the functional training. The training sessions take place under the guidance of the therapists, but can also be carried out in part by the parents themselves. This requires that the parents be trained by the therapists to be able to integrate the functional training into the child's daily routine at home.
Because spasticity can cause pain and limit positioning when standing and sitting, pain reduction also plays an essential role in infantile cerebral palsy therapy. Different methods are used to treat muscle spasticity. The drug botulinum toxin (Botox), for example, is thought to temporarily reduce muscle tone by injecting it into the muscles of the affected limb. Some patients with infantile cerebral palsy may also require surgery on the muscles or joints.
