Pediatric Conditions

Pediatric Conditions

Pediatric conditions refer to health disorders affecting infants, children, and adolescents, impacting their growth, mobility, and overall development. Some conditions are congenital (present from birth), while others develop due to injuries, infections, or neurological issues. Early detection and proper treatment, including physiotherapy, medical intervention, and lifestyle changes, can significantly improve a child’s health and quality of life.

Conditions

Cerebral Palsy (CP)
🔹 What it is: A group of neurological disorders affecting muscle movement, coordination, and posture due to brain damage before, during, or shortly after birth. 🔹 Symptoms: Delayed motor development, muscle stiffness or weakness, difficulty in walking, and involuntary movements. 🔹 Treatment: Physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and assistive devices help improve mobility and independence.

Clubfoot (Congenital Talipes Equinovarus)
🔹 What it is: A congenital condition where a baby's foot is twisted inward or downward, making it difficult to walk. 🔹 Symptoms: Abnormal foot position, stiffness, and difficulty wearing regular footwear. 🔹 Treatment: Stretching exercises, bracing, physiotherapy, and in some cases, corrective surgery (Ponseti method).
Book Now
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)
🔹 What it is: A condition where the hip joint is not properly developed, causing instability or dislocation. 🔹 Symptoms: Uneven leg lengths, limited hip movement, and a noticeable limp when walking. 🔹 Treatment: Physiotherapy, hip braces (Pavlik harness), and, in severe cases, surgery to correct hip alignment.

Genetic & Congenital Factors

✅ Why it happens: Some pediatric conditions are inherited or result from genetic mutations during fetal development. ✅ Examples: Cerebral Palsy, Clubfoot, and Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) can be present at birth due to abnormal growth in the womb. ✅ Prevention: Regular prenatal care and genetic counseling can help detect risks early.

Birth Complications & Prematurity

✅ Why it happens: Lack of oxygen during birth (birth asphyxia), premature delivery, or low birth weight can lead to developmental issues. ✅ Examples: Cerebral Palsy can result from brain damage due to oxygen deprivation during delivery. ✅ Prevention: Proper prenatal monitoring, safe delivery practices, and neonatal care can reduce risks.

Environmental & Postnatal Factors

✅ Why it happens: External factors like nutritional deficiencies, infections, or injuries can impact a child’s growth and musculoskeletal health. ✅ Examples: Hip Dysplasia can worsen if improper swaddling techniques restrict hip movement in infants. ✅ Prevention: Proper infant care, vaccinations, and early physiotherapy interventions can help in early management.
