Cerebral Palsy Treatment - An Overview
Cognihab’ s Cerebral Palsy Rehabilitation Center is the world's first immersive all in one Cerebral Palsy suite co- created with Lady Harding Hospital. It covers Cognitive games, journeys & cerebral palsy exercises for various body parts
Cerebral palsy occurs due to any brain injury either before, during or after birth. In cerebral palsy the brain cannot send messages to muscles about movement. It starts to affect muscle tone, movement, and coordination. Motor skills are affected when muscles are involved, which impairs bodily functions like eating, breathing, and bowel control. The severity of the symptoms showing in the affected person will depend upon the extent of brain damage
Physical therapy is the first step to treating patients with cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy exercises include strength and flexibility training to enable patients to build motor skills. Physical therapy also helps combat joint dislocations by helping to maintain strength and flexibility in the body. Cerebral palsy occupational therapy and physical therapy should be initiated early as possible.
People with Cerebral therapy undergo physical, occupational, and speech therapy to bring about improvements for long term wellness in combination with other medical treatments. As medical science progresses, new therapies also evolve. Virtual Reality based cerebral palsy treatment is an effective and innovative therapy. VR technology enables a therapy model that patients can immerse themselves in safely and feel more comfortable while enhancing their behavioral, mobility and cognitive skills.
Some of the benefits of cerebral palsy exercises include:
Spastic – Cerebral palsy therapy with exercises can reduce jerky movements seen in spastic cerebral palsy patients. Stretching exercises can help relieve stiffness.
Athetoid –Athetoid cerebral palsy patients benefit from physical therapy to increase muscle tone and control over their movements.
Ataxic – This set of cerebral palsy exercises help to improve balance problems faced by those with ataxic cerebral palsy.

How VR is based Cerebral Palsy Therapy Helpful?
Virtual Reality in healthcare is increasing by leaps and bounds as its benefits are being understood. Medical students learn better through VR, and practising surgeons use it to plan complex surgeries. VR-based cerebral palsy treatment is helping people with cerebral palsy to increase mobility, enhance cognitive skills, and with pain management.
Researchers are conducting various studies on VR applications in medical care. Studies reveal that VR can benefit children undergoing cerebral palsy treatment. VR Therapy and treatment is helping children develop better motor and cognitive skills, brain reorganization, perceptive and social skills and even helps with pain relief. VR based therapy promotes active learning by allowing children with cerebral palsy to perform complex movements in a secure environment. Cognihab is regarded as one the best VR based cerebral palsy rehabilitation centers offering the best cerebral palsy treatment in India.
Virtual reality is being used as a stand-alone treatment or in adjunction with other treatment options depending upon the severity of the case. When added to conventional cerebral palsy therapy, VR can improve posture, balance, and upper and lower limb strength and function.
VR therapy is based on motor learning theories and offers the opportunity for repetitive practice and positive feedback to increase functional independence in day to day activities.
Movements learned in VR can be replicated in real life as users get more involved. Studies are being conducted and are showing high success rates of VR based therapies.
The basic tenets of motor learning theories, intrinsic motivation, repetition, and purposeful training, are successfully integrated into VR-based cerebral palsy occupational therapy and show promising results.
