Sudarshan Rokaya , 1 and half years old male child
from Nalaghat-8, Jajarkot was admitted at ADC on 2nd Baisakh
2075with a chief complain – unable to sit and crawl independently. According to
his mother, he is a preterm baby (7 months) with no history of cry at the time
of birth (delivery at home). The baby started to recognize his mother at the
age of 1 year, started cooing at 1 year, started to speak 2 letter word at the
age of 14 months and rolling at 16 months.
On observation of the child, his build was
mesomorphic and facial grimace was normal. He had no drooling and dismorphic
features. He has normal hearing and vision with impaired speech. On examination
his tone was normal in bilateral upper and lower limb with normal superficial
and deep reflexes. He had good head control and rolling but was unable to
creep, sit, crawl, stand and walk. He had impaired balance and unable to do
toileting, eating and dressing. He was diagnosed as Diplegic Cerebral Palsy.
Our anticipated goals for him for initial 1 month was to make him able to creep
and make him sit independently with trunk control.
The treatment given for him was Neurodevelopmental
Therapy (Bobath Approach) for crawling and creeping using different attractive
toys. Play therapy while sitting in order to gain his trunk control before
independent sitting. Functional exercises like holding and throwimg different
objects, reaching etc were done for upper extremity function. Also, basic
speech therapy was given.
What
we achieved after 1 months of treatment sessions?
Now he is able to crawl at least for 5 to 6 steps. He can
hold his trunk while siotting for at least 2-3 minutes. He can play different
toys for 5 to 10 mins. He can speak 2-3 words more than before.
