Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects movement, balance and posture. It happens because of changes in the developing brain, often before or during birth. The cerebral palsy brain does not develop in the usual way, which can affect how messages are sent to muscles. This is why movement and muscle control can feel difficult or uneven. There are many cerebral palsy symptoms and they can vary from person to person. Some people may have stiff muscles, while others may have loose or floppy muscles. Common signs include poor balance, delayed milestones, muscle tightness, tremors and difficulty with walking or using hands. Speech and swallowing can also be affected in some cases. Symptoms can be mild, moderate or more severe, depending on how the brain is affected. There are different types of cerebral palsy. Spastic cerebral palsy is the most common and causes muscle stiffness. Dyskinetic cerebral palsy can lead to uncontrolled movements. Ataxic cerebral palsy mainly affects bala...
Balance and coordination therapy plays a crucial role in neurological physiotherapy, especially for individuals recovering from stroke, brain injury, or other neurological conditions. Problems with balance can make simple activities—such as standing, walking, or turning—feel unsafe and challenging. Neurological physiotherapy addresses these issues by retraining the body and brain to work together more effectively. Through guided exercises, patients learn how to improve stability, control movements, and respond better to changes in their environment. This type of therapy is essential for reducing falls and building confidence. Balance and coordination therapy may include standing exercises, walking practice, strength reminders, and posture training. As patients progress, exercises become more functional, focusing on real-life movements such as reaching, stepping, or navigating uneven surfaces. For stroke survivors and individuals undergoing neurological rehabilitation , improved bal...
