Acquired Brain Injury

Each child that has suffered an ABI is different even if they appear physically similar.

At Children’s Neuro Physio we take a holistic approach to see how physiotherapy can affect altered muscle tone, weakness, stiffness and contracture (when the muscle is overstretched on one side of a joint & tight & shortened on the other side leading to deformity), difficulties co-ordinating, planning & controlling movement on both sides of the body, loss of physical skills & abilities, balance, fatigue, altered sensory functioning & difficulty concentrating & focusing.

We are experienced in working with children with learning, emotional & behavioural difficulties

As your child ages:

  • The approach to delivering physiotherapy may change.
  • Physiotherapy doesn’t stop; children’s brains continue to develop into adulthood.
  • Some children continue to show improvement many years after initial injury.
  • Some children plateau & then restart rehabilitation at a later date & show some improvement.
Erbs/Brachial Palsy/OBPP
(Stretched Nerves During Childbirth)

Erbs palsy occurs when the brachial plexus (the group of nerves that makes the muscles in the arms & hands work) is over stretched or torn. It often occurs during delivery & can be associated with shoulder dystocia. There are different levels of severity reflecting the amount of damage & likely recovery of damaged nerves.

Spinal Cord Injury

A spinal cord injury is a disturbance of the spinal cord that results in loss of sensation and/or mobility. This disturbance, or area of damage, is commonly referred to as a lesion.

There are two common causes of spinal cord lesion:

  • Trauma (road traffic accidents, falls etc.)
  • Disease (spina bifida, tumours etc.)

Some injuries will allow almost complete recovery.
Others will result in complete paralysis.

Neurocutaneous syndrome

It is a broad term for a group of rare neurological (brain, spine and peripheral nerve) disorders. They can cause tumours to grow inside the brain, spinal cord, organs, skin
& skeletal bones.
