Why cerebral palsy patients choose Turkey for rehabilitation

Cerebral palsy is also known as cerebral palsy. The condition represents damage to the musculoskeletal system. It affects more than 17 million people worldwide. The condition is a consequence of damage to the brain. It can occur during pregnancy, childbirth or in the neonatal period. However, it is important to know that in modern medicine, rehabilitation of cerebral palsy is successfully carried out. Unfortunately, the exact cause of the condition often remains unknown. The damage occurs in the brain and gives its negative reflections on muscles and movements in children. It can also be accompanied by other health problems such as defects in vision, hearing and speech. These in turn lead to learning problems. Treatment for cerebral palsy in Turkey is currently producing positive results.

Cerebral palsy at birth

No matter in which period the disease manifested itself, in any case it is worth trying cerebral palsy rehabilitation in Turkey. Complications sometimes occur in babies, such as cerebral haemorrhages, oxygen deficiency and lack of blood supply, and also brain infections due to infection in the mother. All of these are attributed to problems during pregnancy, possible causes of cerebral palsy. Many people undertake treatment in Turkey. Infections such as serious head trauma or meningitis could lead to this condition after birth. One of the most common causes of cerebral palsy remains oxygen deficiency during birth. Babies who are "bruised" at birth, with the umbilical cord wrapped around their neck, or do not flush immediately after coming into the world, have oxygen deficiency. If permanent brain damage occurs as a result, it can lead to cerebral palsy.

The spasticity varies according to the damage

Rehabilitation for cerebral palsy in Turkey largely depends on how extensive the disability is. The disease affects muscle control and movement in children. It could have different characteristics depending on the area of the brain affected by the disability. In spasticity, a consequence of cerebral palsy, children often suffer from severe stiffness in the legs and arms. In some children, only the upper or only the lower limbs may be affected.

Does the baby straighten his head in the third month?

Deviations from age-normal movements in children with cerebral palsy are something that occurs quite often. It is important for parents to monitor their children carefully. In this disease, leg and arm movements are usually severely restricted. Sometimes they are also out of control and the limbs hang freely. There is very limited mobility because of the spasticity. This condition presents with stiffness of the muscles. The abilities to straighten the head and to establish control over the body are also slowed. It is also slower to reach a sitting position. Most often, these are the first signals the family should watch for in the baby's development. If they notice a problem, they should consult a specialist immediately. A good option is to seek treatment options for cerebral palsy abroad.

Cerebral palsy rehabilitation in Turkey

For treatment for cerebral palsy, a lot of people head to Turkey. The results of rehabilitation treatments conducted there are often truly remarkable. Daily physiotherapy is very important, especially during the first 3 years. It is at this time that a child's development is quite rapid, so rehabilitation in this period can produce serious results. Conducting daily physiotherapy can largely solve the problem in children who have mild spasticity. They get the opportunity to be independent of others in their daily life. Cerebral palsy treatment in Turkey aims to provide these children with a life free from the need for help from others.

An example of such a campaign is Save Zara's Smile. She and her parents are not giving up and with the support of donors, they continue to fight.

Hope for Polly

The Hope for Polly campaign is one of the active campaigns published on PavelAndreev.ORG. Polly was born on 19.11.2012. She was born 6 weeks earlier than her due date. She was diagnosed with hydrocephalus and agenesis of corpus callosum. The family was referred for treatment in Sofia at the Neonatology Department of University Hospital. There she was also diagnosed with a chromosomal abnormality. Polly was assigned to rehabilitation. So far, this rehabilitation has not stopped taking place. The child was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy - Spastic Lower Extremity Disorder when she was one year and four months old. Rehabilitation treatments have been carried out at various locations. Very little progress has been made and parents have sought counselling abroad. Improvement was noticeable after three courses of treatment in Turkey. Unfortunately, however, the family cannot bear the costs and much more money and effort is needed to continue to fight for the improvement of Polly's condition.

New Life for Annie

Annie is 7 years old and has been diagnosed with "cerebral palsy" and unproven microcephaly. The New Life for Annie campaign is another of PavelAndreev.ORG's active charity campaigns.

The family appeals to potential donors! Annie needs the help of everyone who decides that they want to help her to walk. She was born in 2015 a very normal child. Three months later it was discovered that Annie was mentally and physically retarded. She began treatment in Sofia.

Annie remains underweight and without much progress until she is 2 years old. She is then referred for treatment in France. After 5 years, however, the results were also poor. The family was redirected to seek a cerebral palsy rehabilitation option in Turkey. The prognosis is very good. However, for them to become a reality the family needs to pay a large sum of money which they do not have. That is why they are asking anyone who can help Annie to do so.

Raising funds for cerebral palsy rehabilitation through the PavelAndreev.ORG platform
