CEREBRAL PALSY THERAPY & TREATMENT AT STEPS
Each year our understanding of cerebral palsy (CP) and the use of robotics in medicine advances. At STEPS, we provide very latest and best technology when it comes to robotic physical therapy for Cerebral Palsy patients. Our Cerebral Palsy treatments involve a hybrid mix of computerized and robotic tools as well as classical PT approaches. We work closely with each patient and their doctor to create a program that will achieve maximum results. By combining compassionate care, traditional phyisical therapy, and robotics, we are able to provide the very highest standard of treatment available in Europe.
About Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent movement disorders that appear in early childhood or at birth. Often, symptoms include poor coordination, stiff muscles, weak muscles, and tremors. There may be problems with sensation, vision, hearing, swallowing, and speaking. Cerebral palsy is caused by abnormal development or damage to the parts of the brain that control movement, balance, and posture, and is the most common movement disorder in children.
STEPS Approach
Our goal is to try and maximize the person's level of independence and community integration. We provide a tailor made approach to the person's treatment. Those treatments can include, but are not limited to: improving gait, walking, balance, coordination, arm and hand function, speech, cognition as well as spasticity reduction.
