Cerebral Palsy Rehabilitation in Moosapet, Hyderabad

Because a child's bones grow faster than their spastic muscles can stretch, CP often leads to severe secondary bone deformities if physiotherapy is neglected during growth spurts. Watch for these signs alerting you to intervene immediately.

• Sudden Loss of Milestones — If a child who could previously crawl or stand suddenly loses that ability over a few weeks, indicating severe regression or contracture.

• Visible Spinal Curving — Noticing that your child is chronically leaning to one side while seated in a wheelchair, which can lead to rapid, severe scoliosis.

• Hip Dislocation Pain — Severe crying specifically when you try to change their diaper or separate their legs, strongly indicating a partially dislocated hip joint.

• Inability to Straighten Joints — When an elbow, knee, or ankle becomes physically locked in a bent position (a fixed contracture) and cannot be pushed straight manually.

• Severe Toe Walking — When the calf muscle becomes so tight that the child's heel physically cannot touch the ground anymore, eventually deforming the foot bones.

• Frequent Unexplained Crying — Because children with severe CP may struggle to communicate, crying often indicates hidden joint pain or pressure sores from braces.
