How to Relax Arm Stiffness: Exercises for a Child with Cerebral Palsy
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- Meet Sebastian. He is a young boy with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. His family wants to help me share treatment suggestions to help children like him across the world. My clinic, Child and Family Development, in Charlotte, NC, allowed me to use their facilities and their equipment to showcase Sebastian's skill and charming personality. We review techniques to reduce stiffness, encourage strength and control. I think you'll love spending time with him. Thank you to this family and my clinic for allowing this to happen.
I also have available 3 children's educational books, "A is for Autism," "D is for Down Syndrome," and "C is for Cerebral Palsy" available on Amazon. I have forthcoming "Pediatric Physical Therapy Exercises for the Hips". If you have questions or suggestions, feel free to contact me at amysturkey@gmail.com. Please note: I am unable to provide treatment suggestions for a child I have not personally evaluated.
Oh my goodness. He is absolutely precious! Thank you for these videos! :)
I miss him so much. Such a sweet spirit
Thanks a lot amy
It really works for my daughter
She is spastic quadriplegic
Yay! That makes me so happy. Thank you for taking the time to let me know!
Hi....
See dis baby s so happy...
I am also very happy"""
Thank s GOD
He is a very happy young man. He is a wonderful co-instructor. I am very lucky.
Thank you for your videos. Many blessings. My son is 2 and I will be trying your techniques with him. I am unable to get this kindof resource in person. I am thankful for your hard work and patience with uploading videos and filming. Keep up the great work!
I am so glad these videos were helpful to you
Thank you soooo much for posting these amazingly helpful videos! Sebastian is seriously like my son’s TWIN!! My son is almost 6 and looks so much like him and has the same exact issues and their bodies even look identical! We have has a very tough time finding resources that help our son’s specific issues and this is ON POINT!! I’ve been looking for this kind of information for years so again, THANK YOU!! Joseph (my son) says thank you too! 🥰 I know he would be very appreciative if he could express that... he was born with his twin sister at 24 1/2 weeks gestation and was 1lb 10oz but very healthy other than his lungs. His sister is totally healthy to this day and the only reason our son has these issues is unfortunately due to the hospital making mistakes that should’ve never happened and caused him to have severe permanent brain damage which resulted in stage 3 brain bleeding and hydrocephalus, and cerebral palsy. He cannot walk or talk but is very vocal and is trying very hard to crawl, roll around and generally move around a lot and gets better and better! We are so proud of him and we know he has so much potential and we want to give him the best possible life he can have and give him the best quality of life possible so we are always looking for ways to help him! He is in 3 different types of therapy (PT/OT/ST) but unfortunately COVID has caused us to have to keep him home and out of therapy for almost a year now. 😭 So we are doing our best to work with him here at home. He’s so smart and he understands many different words and phrases but just can’t say them himself yet. Please continue to post more of these if possible! I just subscribed to your channel. Lots of love to all you therapists and parents/families out there working hard to help all of our unique precious children!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻
Reading this made me so happy. Thank you for taking the time to let me know about your son.
Hi! Just read your story and my son is 2 years old and similar. May I have your IG to contact you? I have been looking for resources as well. This channel is a breathe of fresh air.
So glad the two of you are finding support with this
Thanks for your time Docter I hope these vedios will help me ❤❤❤
Im glad that im here i also have a son 8years old.. Same situation like this.. Everytime he had stiff arms i do that also because i felt that will listen the stiffness.. Evetytime i hold him.. I also open his hands..
Now that I'm older my legs and things can move better but I always feel tension and have no control to be able to relax. When there is relief it numb after sharp pain with no support to be able to stand or hold things. This happens in my knees my calves barely if any have enough muscle to support themselves for long periods and it also happens in my hands lately starting at my elbows either one or the other once in a while
That is interesting. Do you have cerebral palsy?
@@pediatricPTexercises yes and I was breech 3 months premature. Premies run in my family I was the only born at 6 months with cerebral palsy
Oh wow! It is so fun that you are following this channel.
Hi uhhhhh
My favourite boy Sebastian!!!!!!
I can see why you feel that way! He is so easy to love
This boy is sooo like mine same faces noises and all ☺️
Then I bet you love him to the moon and back!
Is there any hope for children with Spastic problems?
I am not sure what you mean by your question. Here are interviews with adults with cerebral palsy that I hope you will find hopeful

@@pediatricPTexercises I mean is there any hope for my child to recover or these types of kids remain disabled throughout their life.
@@randomfactsGG The damage done to the brain is not progressive. There are medical treatments and therapies that can make it better. Mostly my experience is that no matter what the condition, if a child and family work hard and consistently, the child improves.
Thanks alot for you cooperation and time
One last question
We do not have proper doctors in Afghanistan to consult,
My kid produces a lot of saliva and he cant swallow them, is that normal?
@@randomfactsGG Having poor oral motor control for saliva management is common in children with cerebral palsy
My daughter has that too
I am so glad you found this channel. Here is his playlist. I hope it is helpful for you.

How is lil Sebastian now 🥹♥️ precious lil one.
He passed a little over a year ago
@pediatricPTexercises may his soul rest in peace♥️
He is still with us. He helps people every day.
@pediatricPTexercises yes very true :)
I know he is happy with how his memory and teaching live on
Thank you a lot for these helpful videos.
I have cerebral palsy and was wondering what stretches or exercises I can do by myself to reduce how much my hands shake especially when I am holding a cup, writing, and sometimes when I am eating. Often, my hand shakes when I touch something without applying a lot of force at first. Do you know how I can prevent that? I am also wondering how I could increase the flexibility of my wrists so I could move them faster and they will shake less. Do you have any ideas?
Thanks!
Unfortunately, it is considered unethical for me to provide treatment recommendations for a person I have not personally evaluate it. I recommend you find a local therapist who can customize a program specifically for you.
Obrigada
You are welcome
Mam ur moves r really tricky, sensible controls over children

I cannot speak to your baby; however, I can say I have done it with a baby who is less-than a year-old
