Today we will take a look at how pediatric orthotics can help children diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
Cerebral palsy is perhaps the most diagnosed childhood motor disability in the United States, with 10,000 kids born annually adding to that number. It is a group of associated disorders caused by abnormal brain development or damage. It presents as difficulty or an inability to adequately control muscles, which results in a patient having difficulty moving, balancing, or maintaining good posture. Cerebral palsy is a condition that can range from slight uncoordinated movements to needing full assistance when walking.
