Choos Right Wheelchair for Your CP Child

That’s why our kids wheelchair category offers models that feature seat width and depth adjustability, elevating legrests, and other versatile features.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of conditions caused by medical abnormalities in the development of a fetus or the early life of a child. These lead to damage or delayed development in the brain. The disorder is permanent and, though it does not worsen with age, the level of functionality of a person with cerebral palsy varies widely: in some cases, effects may be very minor, while in others, movement is impaired to the extent that a wheelchair is required. Common complications associated with CP vary by the type of CP Wheelchair disorder but can include vision problems, seizures, learning disabilities, and issues speaking, writing, and performing other tasks related to motor control.

Causes of Cerebral Palsy: Cerebral palsy is generally caused by developmental issues during pregnancy which lead to abnormal conditions in the brain. During the birth process, lack of oxygen caused by premature delivery or delivery-room errors can cause brain damage that facilitates cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy can also be caused by recognizable brain injuries sustained by the developing child up to an early age after birth. Medical research continues to uncover the many risk factors that may be associated with CP cases. Effective maternal care, ensuring a healthy diet and environment for the mother, is vital for ensuring that preventable cases of CP do not occur.

CP Chair  is far too big for him, but the grandmother, who is taking care of him is very happy with it, because she does not need to carry him. The chair does not support him enough: not helping to keep his head up, the knees are “falling” side-wards, the arms are turned inwards.

A doctor was doing research on the causes of disability in children. He was meeting a lot of children with Cerebral Palsy and their families. The children were usually lying on a mattress and did not have any assistive devices. The doctors wrote a project proposal for an Embassy in order to be able to provide all these children with special chairs specifically designed for Cerebral Palsy. He was granted the money and had the chairs made by a local carpenter. He then gave the chairs to the families and asked them to have the child sit in the chair because that is much better for the development of the child. After three years the doctor wanted to know what had been the impact of these chairs on the development of the children and their families so he visited all families again. He found that 95% of the chairs were not being used.
