Severe Cerebral Palsy Symptoms Vary But Can Affect The Whole Body

 

Signs of severe cerebral palsy differ according to the individual.  There may be associated symptoms such as seizures or learning disabilities.  There is no one single cause of cerebral palsy, but birth complications are connected to around 10% of cases.  A CP lawyer can help if a medical mistake is the suspected cause.  Settlement can result in lifetime benefits to provide for the future.  For example, compensation can pay for a home to be specially adapted and for parents to give up work to care for their child.

 

Severe cerebral palsy treatment depends on the individual and the severity of the disorder.  There is no standard therapy for all patients.  Medication can help control muscle spasms and seizures.  Mechanical aids and special braces can help with posture and balance.  Physiotherapy and occupational therapy are also beneficial for children with cerebral palsy.
