Cerebral palsy is a lifelong form of physical disability that affects movement and posture. It results from permanent, nonprogressive brain damage in the early stages of a child's development. It can worsen with age, take different forms and affect different parts of the body. Therefore, each person struggling with MPD presents a different [...]
Psychomotor retardation
Delayed psychomotor development is a delay in the development of motor and intellectual functions, which we can talk about when a child does not reach "developmental milestones", i.e. the most important developmental skills, in a timely manner. They should be developed at a certain stage of life and are always referred to the child's age, and in the case of premature babies to the corrected age (in the case of children born [...]
Asymmetry
Why is body asymmetry a problem that requires prompt medical intervention? First and foremost, body symmetry is very important, because with it the child learns to cross the center line of the body in both directions with his feet, hands and head. This makes it possible to reach the next stages of motor development and coordination. This is why body asymmetry in children can be a warning sign indicating [...]
Muscle tension disorders
Muscle tension disorder is a condition in which there is abnormal tension in the muscles. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including neurological disorders, muscle damage, or metabolic problems. These disorders can manifest as excessive or insufficient muscle tension, which can lead to stiffness, muscle weakness, and problems with coordination and movement. [...]
Growth dysphoria - cosmetic limb lengthening
Dysfunction is no longer a problem. Thanks to advances in the field of orthopedics, we can easily achieve bone lengthening of additional centimeters and equalize the length of limbs in relation to the proportions of the whole body. The term growth dysphoria Dr. Walter Windisch, a psychologist, used the term growth dysphoria (dysphoria literally means dissatisfaction, as opposed to euphoria). In other words, dissatisfaction with one's growth. [...]
