Abstract

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a collection of conditions that impact a person's ability to move, balance, and maintain posture. Cerebral palsy is a disorder that affects the motor portion of the brain's outer layer, which controls muscular movement. The cerebral motor cortex hasn't formed normally in some situations throughout fetal development. In certain cases, the impairment is caused by a brain injury that occurred before, during, or after delivery. In either situation, the damage is irreversible, and the resulting disabilities are permanent. The nature and intensity of CP symptoms vary from one person to the next, and they can even alter over time. Depending on whether areas of the brain have been affected, symptoms might vary widely from person to person. Cerebral palsy affects mobility and posture in all persons, and some people may have intellectual disabilities, seizures, odd bodily feelings or perceptions, and other medical issues. People with CP may also have vision or hearing impairments, as well as language and speaking issues. The present case report is of a child of 2.5 years old. She came with complaints of difficulty in sit to stand, standing with maximum assistance, very minimal standing balance, requires total assistance in walking. She was also having some sensory and behavioral issues reported by parents like trying to catch her own shadow, blabbering among herself. She was assessed, treatment including Sensory integration and Neurodevelopmental therapy was given to her for a period of 6 months. Baby improved profoundly well.
