Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is generally diagnosed in children who have suffered some type of neurological impairment at birth. These children exhibit movement challenges affecting coordination, voluntary and involuntary movement, posture and muscle tone.
At FHC, children with cerebral palsy present with significant more impairment in the three areas of function: self-care, mobility and cognitive ability, than children at other facilities. This results in the tougher cases being brought to FHC. Despite the lower points in function, by the end of the test period our children showed an overall improvement of 342%!
