Cerebral palsy

Robotic devices enable repetitive and task-specific training, assisting children with cerebral palsy in improving muscle strength, coordination, and functional abilities.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of neurological disorders that affect movement, muscle tone, and motor skills. It is caused by damage to the developing brain, often occurring before birth or during infancy, and can result in a range of physical and developmental challenges.

At Glavic Clinic, we specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cerebral palsy, providing comprehensive care to help individuals with CP achieve their fullest potential and improve their quality of life.

Causes of Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is typically caused by abnormalities or damage to the developing brain, which can occur due to various factors, including:

 

  • Prenatal Factors: Infections, maternal health conditions, genetic factors, or exposure to toxins during pregnancy.
  • Perinatal Factors: Complications during labor and delivery, such as oxygen deprivation or premature birth.
  • Postnatal Factors: Traumatic brain injury, infections, or other medical conditions affecting the brain during infancy or early childhood.
Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy

The symptoms of cerebral palsy can vary widely from person to person and may include:

 

  • Muscle stiffness or spasticity
  • Poor coordination and balance
  • Difficulty with fine motor skills, such as grasping objects or writing
  • Speech and communication difficulties
  • Developmental delays in reaching milestones, such as sitting up or walking
  • Abnormal muscle tone, such as stiffness or floppiness
  • Challenges with vision, hearing, or sensation

Empowering lives

At Glavic Clinic, we’re dedicated to pioneering innovative solutions for individuals with cerebral palsy through our advanced robotic rehabilitation program. 

Our specialized approach integrates state-of-the-art robotic technology with the expertise of our experienced medical team to provide tailored rehabilitation plans for each patient. 

With the GLARTH Method, our proprietary rehabilitation protocol, we focus on optimizing outcomes by combining robotic-assisted therapies with traditional rehabilitation techniques. Through personalized treatment plans, we strive to enhance motor function, mobility, and overall quality of life for individuals with cerebral palsy.

Q&A

We provide rehabilitation services for individuals of all ages with cerebral palsy, from infants to adults. Our treatments are tailored to meet the unique needs of each age group, ensuring comprehensive care and support.

The duration of cerebral palsy rehabilitation varies depending on factors such as the severity of the condition, the individual’s response to treatment, and their specific goals. Treatment plans are personalized for each patient and may span several weeks to months. Our team continuously evaluates progress and adjusts therapy as needed to achieve optimal outcomes.

Robotic rehabilitation can be beneficial for many individuals with cerebral palsy, but suitability depends on factors such as the individual’s specific needs, abilities, and medical history. Our team conducts thorough assessments to determine the most appropriate treatment approach for each patient, considering their unique circumstances and goals.

While results vary for each individual, our goal is to optimize motor function, mobility, and overall quality of life for patients with cerebral palsy. Through personalized rehabilitation plans, including robotic-assisted therapy and the Glarth Method, we aim to help individuals achieve meaningful improvements in their abilities and independence.
