Helping Every Child Move Better, Live Stronger
Orthopedic Support for Children with Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a neurological condition that affects movement, muscle tone, and posture. While the root cause lies in the brain, many of the daily challenges children face are orthopedic—impacting how they walk, move, sit, or even grow.
At Child OrthoCare, we specialize in helping children with cerebral palsy gain more comfort, mobility, and independence through compassionate, expert orthopedic care.
Understanding CP and Its Orthopedic Impact
Cerebral palsy interferes with how the brain communicates with muscles. This often results in:
- Spasticity (tight, stiff muscles)
- Muscle weakness and poor coordination
- Impaired balance and posture
Common Orthopedic Issues in CP:
- Gait disturbances (limping, toe walking, scissoring)
- Joint contractures (limited limb movement)
- Hip dislocations or instability
- Spinal curvatures (like scoliosis)
- Foot deformities (e.g., flatfoot, equinus)
- Leg length discrepancies
These challenges can worsen with age if left untreated—making early orthopedic care essential.
How Pediatric Orthopedic Care Helps
Orthopedic specialists play a key role in managing bone, joint, and muscle issues caused by CP. At Child OrthoCare, we partner with neurologists, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists to create comprehensive, child-friendly treatment plans.
Orthopedic Treatment Options for Children with CP
1. Physiotherapy & Stretching
- Maintains flexibility and joint range
- Reduces spasticity and prevents stiffness
- Should be started early and continued regularly
2. Orthotic Devices (Braces & Splints)
- Support correct limb positioning
- Reduce muscle strain during movement
- Common options: AFOs (Ankle-Foot Orthoses)
3. Botox Injections (Botulinum Toxin)
- Temporarily relieve spastic muscles
- Often used before physiotherapy or casting
- Safe when administered by trained professionals
4. Serial Casting
- Uses gentle, repeated casts to gradually stretch stiff joints
- Often helpful for tight ankles or feet
5. Surgical Interventions
- Tendon lengthening to release tight muscles
- Hip reconstruction to address joint dislocation
- Spinal surgery for significant scoliosis
- Multilevel surgery for improved walking or positioning
Surgery is carefully timed, often after major growth spurts, and is focused on function, not just appearance.
When Should You See an Orthopedic Specialist?
Consult a pediatric orthopedic expert if your child:
Has stiff joints or muscle tightness
Drags one leg, walks on toes, or struggles with balance
Cannot sit, crawl, or stand at expected ages
Shows abnormal posture or spine curvature
Has unequal leg lengths or unusual foot shapes
Complains of joint pain or walking difficulty
Early evaluation can prevent long-term complications and improve your child’s quality of life.
