Goals of Physiotherapy in Cerebral Palsy

• Improve mobility, muscle strength, coordination, and overall function.

Types of Physiotherapy Techniques

• Stretching and range of motion exercises to reduce spasticity.
• Strengthening exercises tailored to individual needs.
• Balance and coordination training.
• Gait training to improve walking ability.

Use of Assistive Devices and Technologies

• Orthotic devices like braces and splints.
• Mobility aids such as walkers or wheelchairs.
• Technologies like functional electrical stimulation (FES).

Specialized Physiotherapy Approaches

• Neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT) for motor control.
• Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) for limb use.
• Benefits of aquatic therapy.

Role of Multidisciplinary Team

• Collaboration with occupational therapists, speech therapists, and pediatric neurologists.

Importance of Early and Consistent Therapy

• Start physiotherapy early and maintain regular sessions for best outcomes.
