There are 5 main
kinds of cerebral palsy : one. Spastic cerebral palsy is the
commonest type, happening in seventy - eighty percent of the
youngsters. Spasticity refers back to the rigidity or tightness in
the muscles and is generally accompanied by weakness in the
influenced limb. Two. Choreoathetoid or athetoid cerebral palsy is
identified by rash spontaneous muscle movements of the arms, legs
and body which are slow and writhing movements but they could also
be sudden and jerky.
Youngsters
frequently have really feeble muscles.
This conditions happens in about 20% of youngsters with cerebral
palsy. Three. Ataxic cerebral palsy causes unstable, shaky movements
which are accompanied by issues with clumsiness, balance and poor
coordination. Muscle weakness and quivering happen.
Kids with this
disorder have problems making fast or fine movements and walk
unsteadily with legs widely spaced.
This condition
happens in ten percent of kids with cerebral palsy. Four. Dystonia
is mostly a dreadful for of cerebral palsy and may vary between
acute rigidity and acute floppiness. There might be spasm in the
muscles of the shoulders, neck and trunk. The arm is usually held in
a revolved position and the head is drawn back and to the side.
Five. Mixed is
where there are 2 of the above types, most frequently spastic and
athetoid are mixed and happens in many youngsters. Other terms are
used to explain the parts of the body influenced : Hemiplegia
involves the arm and leg on only 1 side of the body. Diplegia
involves especially the legs with the arms influenced to a smaller
extent. Quadriplegia involves all 4 limbs, either similarly or to a
bigger degree in the arms. Muscles in the head and face might also
be influenced. In all forms of cerebral palsy, speech could be tough
to understand as the kid has difficulty controlling the muscles
concerned in speech. About 25% of youngsters with cerebral palsy
also have episodes ( epilepsy ).
Treating
cerebral palsy with hyperbaric oxygen care ( HBOT ) is regarded
experimental though it is employed generally thru the world. Robust
feelings develop between "believers and non-believers" in the world
of hyperbarics. It has got to be observed that HBOT isn't a cure for
cerebral palsy but offers a method to turn on damaged or suspended
brain cells which have been deprived of oxygen for a period.
