FEATURES OF PHYSICAL THERAPY IN CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY

Abstract. Cerebral palsy in children is a condition that arises as a result of brain damage occurring in the prenatal, perinatal, or postnatal periods due to various causes. It is usually identified in early childhood and is characterized by motor impairments such as paralysis, muscle weakness, coordination disorders, and involuntary movements. Children with this condition may also experience epileptic seizures, delayed mental development, difficulties with perception and learning, as well as visual, auditory, speech, and intellectual disorders. Although a child with cerebral palsy often gives the impression of being mentally retarded, this is by no means always the case. Conditions similar to cerebral palsy can also occur at any age after infectious diseases, stroke, or traumatic brain injury.
