Mr. C. Elanchezhian, Dr. P. Swarna Kumari

Abstract :

 Cereal palsy (CP) and ain injury can have devastating effects on children’s ability to use their hands.  Brain lesions may disturb hand functioning in children with CP, making it difficult or even impossible for them to perform several manual activities. Limitations in fine motor skills make independent living problematic if not impossible and negatively impact everyday functioning in terms of educational, professional, and social activities. The aim of CP rehabilitation is to improve existing functions and compensatory mechanisms and to encourage the child’s functional independence. During the rehabilitation process, the child must be evaluated at designated periods by a multidisciplinary team into which the patient’s family is also included. Current research supports the use of functional intervention for children with cereal palsy. Physical therapy is more valuable rehabilitation treatment to make the children with Cereal palsy more functional and independent.
