Learn to Cope Up With Cerbal Palsy
Cerbal palsy is a disease in which many parts of the body are
affected. With cerbal palsy comes many chronic disorders that
impair motor skills and normal bodily functions. The reason this
disease occurs is due to defective development or damage to the
motor part of the brain. You will find that people with cerbal
palsy have trouble writing, using scissors or eating because
their motor skills are very limited. Another part of cerbal
palsy makes it difficult to maintain balance and sudden,
involuntary movements are common. It also hinders ones ability
to walk and/or run.
Unfortunately, people that have cerbal palsy also are affected
by other disorders, like seizures or brain damage. Signs of
cerbal palsy will usually start to show up in children before
the age of three. Infants with this disease are very slow in
their development and don't learn to smile, crawl, sit or walk
at the expected ages.
To determine if a child has cerbal palsy, doctors will
administer a series of tests on motor skills and reflexes. They
will also look into medical history of the family and use other
tests to ensure they are 100% correct in their diagnosis.
There isn't one common treatment that is known to work for all
those that have been afflicted with cerbal palsy. Instead,
speech, physical and behavioral therapy is used in different
ways on different people. There are also braces that help
balance people out and drugs to help control involuntary muscle
movements.
There isn't a cure as of yet for cerbal palsy but scientists are
working hard at developing one. Due to the extensive knowledge
of this disease and the medical research, people with cerbal
palsy can lead pretty normal lives. Learning to cope with this
disease can be hard but it's best to accept the things you
cannot change and if you do this, you will be a stronger and
wiser person for it.
