Introduction
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a neurological condition that affects movement, muscle tone, and coordination. It is caused by brain damage before, during, or shortly after birth and can lead to varying degrees of physical disability. Understanding CP, its challenges, and the available support services can help individuals lead independent and fulfilling lives.
At Careable, we specialize in providing NDIS-funded services for individuals with CP, including therapy coordination, assistive technology, daily living support, and community access . Our goal is to help participants maximize their abilities, enhance independence, and engage in their communities .
Types of Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral Palsy is classified into different types based on movement and muscle control:
Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Causes muscle stiffness, affecting movement and coordination.
Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy
Leads to involuntary, uncontrolled movements in the limbs and face.
Ataxic Cerebral Palsy
Affects balance and depth perception, making movements unsteady.
Mixed Cerebral Palsy
A combination of two or more types, leading to complex mobility challenges.
Symptoms and Effects of Cerebral Palsy
The severity of CP varies, and symptoms may include:
- Difficulty with muscle control and coordination.
- Delayed motor development (e.g., crawling, walking).
- Involuntary movements or muscle stiffness.
