Introduction Cerebral Palsy : It is a group of permanent movement disorders that appear in early childhood. Cerebral palsy is actually caused by brain injury. Cerebral Palsy is considered a neurological disorder caused by a non-progressive brain injury or malformation that occurs while the child’s brain is under development. 7/14/2017 4
Cont. 7/14/2017 5
Cont. The brain injury only can happen during brain developing Immediately Before birth. During birth and Shortly after birth. 7/14/2017 6
Sub-classification of Cerebral palsy Cerebral Palsy : physiologic : Athetoid . Ataxic . Spastic/Rigid. Mixed ( Any Combination). 7/14/2017 8
Athetoid Due to damage in basal ganglia. Difficulties in controlling and cordoning movement. Speech, Grabbing , sowaling some involuntary movement. 7/14/2017 9
Ataxic Due damage in the cerebellum. Low muscle tone. Poor coordination of movement. Affects balance and depths perception. 7/14/2017 10
Spastic Due to damage in the motor cortex. Movements are limited due to spastic muscle. Can vary on a day by day basis. Few muscle more and some are less affected. 7/14/2017 11
Mixed Cerebral Palsy 7/14/2017 12
Sub-classification of Cerebral palsy Cerebral Palsy: Topographic: Monoplegic (monoplegia is a paralysis of a single limb, usually an arm) Paraplegic (Paraplegia describes complete or incomplete paralysis affecting the legs and possibly also the trunk, but not the arms) Hemiplegic (hemiplegia means that the paralysis is on one vertical half of the body) Triplegic (Triplegic cerebral palsy is a type of cerebral palsy that paralyzes three parts of the body) Quadriplegic (Four limb are affected) Diplegic (tightness" or "stiffness"—in the muscles of the lower extremities of the human body) 7/14/2017 13

Sub-classification of Cerebral palsy Cerebral palsy: Severity: Mild Moderate Severe 7/14/2017 15

Sign & Symtomes Low muscle tone (baby feels ‘floppy’ when picked up). Unable to hold up his/her own head while lying on their stomach or in a supported sitting position. Muscle spasms or feeling stiff. Poor muscle control, reflexes and posture. Delayed development (can’t sit up or independently roll over by 6 months). Feeding or swallowing difficulties. Prefers to use one side of their body. 7/14/2017 17
Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) An ankle-foot orthosis, or AFO, is a support intended device to control the position and motion of the ankle, compensate for weakness, or correct deformities. 7/14/2017 25
Posterior Leaf Spring Ankle foot Orthosis Indicate for weak dorsiflexors. Narrow calf shell & Ankle trim behind the malleolar. Resist the planter flexion(during early stance). Help to dorsiflex in swing phase by recoil the shape. It has less medio-lateral stability. 7/14/2017 27
Posterior shell Solid Ankle Foot Orthosis (SAFO ) Mostly indicated for Drop foot (Weak dorsi & Planter flexion) Cover the calf, ankle and foot. Restore the gait as much as normal as possible. Control the varus and valgus of ankle. However there is no true dorsi-flexion and planter-flexion take place. 7/14/2017 28
Hinged Ankle Foot Orthosis Indicted for resist the excessive planter-flexion & dorsi-flexion. Control the suitable planter flexion at early stance phase. Control the suitable dorsi flexion at swing phase. Also control the valgus and varus moment. 7/14/2017 29
Patellar Tendon Bearing Ankle Foot Orthosis Distribute the body weight Achieve the reciprocal inhibition of planter flexor and invertors muscle (By sung fit) Reduce the weight from the foot 7/14/2017 30
Dynamic Ankle Foot Orthosis It’s a thin , flexible and wraps around the patients entire foot. Improve alignment. Control the varus & valgus moment of ankle. Allow the little movement of ankle joint. 7/14/2017 31
Knee Orthosis (KO) Knee orthosis are the devices which hold the knee for the ultimate purpose of prevent deformity or correct alignment. An orthosis designed to control knee motion; extends from the upper portion of the thigh & crossing the knee. 7/14/2017 32
Adaptive devices 7/14/2017 33 Different wheelchairs. Adaptive Tricycle Stool Scooters and Standing Equipment Stair Glides/Elevators and Mechanical Lifts Car Seats Communication Devices Commode and Bath Chairs Writing tools
Conclusions Cerebral palsy is mainly refers to the brain injury. Due to the injured brain patients loses the motor function which affect the normal gait.Orthotic treatment help them and improve their normal gait as much as possible. 7/14/2017 39
