 Read on to find out more about this disorder.

Let’s take a look at our patient’s story before we begin. This story will give you an insight into the impact that Hypotonic Cerebral Palsy can have on people’s lives.

John had always been a bright and curious child, full of energy and enthusiasm for life. His father was often amazed by his son’s intelligence; John could answer questions that even adults couldn’t. However, one day when he was 6 years old, something changed in his behavior.

He started having difficulty maintaining balance and walking normally. His father took him to multiple doctors but none of them could give an accurate diagnosis or suggest any treatments that would help John get better.

After months of research, his father finally came across MedicoExperts which specializes in Neurology. After examining John thoroughly, they concluded that he was suffering from Hypotonic Cerebral Palsy (CP). They suggested stem cell therapy as well as other treatments for John to help reduce the symptoms.

After about a year of regular treatment, there was a noticeable improvement in John’s mobility and he could walk almost normally again. The doctors at MedicoExperts also helped him understand his condition better and guided him towards living life with CP more comfortably.

John is now 11 years old and has adjusted well to his life with Hypotonic Cerebral Palsy. He still visits MedicoExperts regularly for check-ups as well as for support from its caring staff. With their help, this bright boy is able to live a fulfilling life despite his challenges.

Now that you know John’s story, let’s find out more about Hypotonic Cerebral Palsy and the treatments available.

What is hypotonic cerebral palsy?

Cerebral palsy which is characterized as hypotonic is a result of cerebellar damage.

It is caused by brain damage that occurs before, during, or shortly after childbirth, just like other types of cerebral palsy. Hypotonic cerebral palsy is not very common and accounts for only 2.6% of all cases.

The floppy muscles can cause fatigue and difficulty in performing daily tasks. This leads to weak muscles, over-flexibility, trouble with balance, and delays in development.

Children with hypotonic cerebral palsy typically have low muscle tone, which makes their muscles soft and unstable. As a result, they may experience difficulties achieving developmental milestones like rolling over, crawling, sitting up, and walking. This weakness is due to a lack of stability rather than a lack of strength.

But how do we understand this condition and what treatments are available to help manage it? For this, you will first need to understand and learn the symptoms.

What are the Symptoms of Hypotonic Cerebral Palsy?

Hypotonic Cerebral Palsy is marked by low muscle tone, causing floppy muscles. The muscles are not weak but lack stability due to excessive relaxation. Parents may observe symptoms in their child between a few months to a few years old, depending on the severity.

If you’re concerned about your child’s development, there are several key symptoms to be aware of:

– Delays in reaching developmental milestones, such as rolling over, sitting up, crawling, or walking

– Looseness in muscles and/or joints, leading to excess flexibility or clumsiness

– Trouble maintaining head control or trunk stability

– Feet positioned abnormally far apart when standing or walking

– Balance and stability problems

– Trouble with chewing, swallowing, or breathing

– Seizures or cognitive dysfunction 

– Impaired vision or hearing, including slow eye movements 

– Difficulty with fine motor activities like buttoning clothes or writing 

– Learning disabilities or speech impediments 

If you notice any of these symptoms, early intervention can make a big difference in your child’s development. The team at MedicoExperts can help you understand your child’s condition and provide the necessary treatments.

What are the Causes of Hypotonic Cerebral Palsy?

Hypotonic Cerebral Palsy occurs when there is damage to the developing brain, specifically the cerebellum. This damage results in difficulty in relaying messages from the brain and spinal cord related to movement control to the rest of the body, leading to problems with muscle tone and motor skills. 

Some of the known factors that could cause damage to the cerebellum include:

– Lack of oxygen to the fetus

– Damage to the placenta

– Maternal high blood pressure (causing fetal stroke)

– Certain types of maternal infections, especially during the first five months of pregnancy

– Umbilical cord complications

– Problems during delivery, often from improper use of forceps by the doctor

– Pulling excessively on the newborn’s head, neck, or shoulders 

It is important to understand the causes of Hypotonic Cerebral Palsy in order to prevent its occurrence and provide early intervention for affected individuals.
