My youngest had this problem... we took her to a children's hospital and had her evaluated for cerebral palsy. Then we started on a baby boot camp (lots of exercises that seem like playing to the baby). She needed orthodics in her shoes to be able to stand and walk. But once she got started, she was right as rain. Blessings!
My son was diagnosed with cerebral palsy around 2 years old.. He turns 23 in March. He doesn't talk or walk. He needs help with everything. Lately he has become more and more inactive.

Hello,
I am working with a group of students at Johns Hopkins University on a design project to help individuals with Cerebral Palsy exercise. The idea would involve a harness system, in home, that is set up in any doorframe and would provide support for users to exercise on things like treadmills/ellipticals. This device would be for children and young adults. Do you believe this would be a device you or your would be interested in using? Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.

He was adopted out of Foster care just before his 2nd birthday. He has been theorized to have everything from Cerebral Palsy, ODD, Sensory issues, Bi polar dissorder (which does run in his biological family) and attatchment disorders.

She has been diagnosed with spina bifida and cerebral palsy and she is only 20 years old. She has been complaining of having trouble walking, and can't run. She has been getting all kinds of tests done and having blood taken and they can't find out what's wrong with her. Is this happening because of her diagnosis? Why can't they give her any answers?

I was having a few sessions with the NHS because I have mild cerebral palsy, but I has my last session last week because my physiotherapist is on maternity leave.

I had ataxia from a stroke in the cerebellum and haave gone to physical therapy for it. First is cocentration on balance. One the exercises that can be done for this is standing on a stair, with one's toes and balls of feet on the stair and the heel hanging off and downward.
