Cerebral palsy - Children
Cerebral palsy in children in Kuwait
Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects movement, muscle tone, and balance due to damage to the brain during early development. A child with cerebral palsy may have difficulty sitting, crawling, or walking, and may exhibit muscle stiffness or flaccidity, or a noticeable difference in limb length.
At Al-Kindy Care, we offer physiotherapy and home rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy in Kuwait with an individualized treatment plan that suits the child’s level and the family’s goals, focusing on improving daily movement and independence as much as possible, with practical training for parents.
When does a child need assessment and rehabilitation?
Significant delay in sitting/crawling/standing/walking
Severe stiffness or tightness in the muscles
Unnatural postures (such as crossing the legs or walking on tiptoes)
Weakness on one side (right/left)
Difficulty opening the hand or using a limb
Frequent falls/severe imbalance
Important note: Every child is a special case, so our plan is detailed and not general.
