Report

Stepan is 13 years old and has cerebral palsy (cerebral palsy), because of which, at the peak of active growth, kyphosis of the thoracic region is progressing, and from this a skew of the whole body is rapidly developing, internal organs also suffer.

Before rehabilitation, Stepan walked independently only for short distances, long distances were given with great difficulty, he quickly tired and lost his balance due to improper body load due to curvature of the spine.

As a result of the course, muscle tone in the extremities has normalized, endurance during physical exertion has improved, hyperkinetic syndrome has decreased, the volume of movements in the joints has increased, coordination of movements has improved, and muscle mass in the legs has also increased. And most importantly, it turned out to align the back, shoulders and pelvis, reducing severe scoliosis and kyphosis. To consolidate the acquired skills until the next course, Stepan received homework.

Thanks to everyone who helped pay for Stepan's rehabilitation course!

About the campaign

Stepan has cerebral palsy, rehabilitation is needed

Stepan is 13 years old. The boy was born on time, but received birth injuries at birth, which caused cerebral palsy. At the moment, Stepan has an active peak of growth and he is progressing with kyphosis of the thoracic region, from this a skew of the whole body is rapidly developing, internal organs also suffer, and hyperkinesis does not give him the opportunity to eat independently, use cutlery. He walks independently, but long distances are difficult, he quickly gets tired and loses his balance. Stepan is studying in the 5th grade of a correctional school according to the general education program. He dreams of graduating from school with a gold medal! Despite the difficulties, the guy goes to his cherished dream – to play sports professionally. He has already learned to ride a bicycle, scooter and ski. Stepan, of course, is shy of his peers, but his parents try to bring him up so that he understands that this is just a small drawback that you can live with. Now Stepan needs to undergo another rehabilitation course. In the "Mom, I can" center, the teenager is constantly engaged and with each course there is a noticeable improvement in his condition. The plan for the next rehabilitation is to reduce spasticity, strengthen and develop muscles and joints, so that the back and shoulders will straighten, in general it will become easier even psychologically, hyperkinesis will decrease due to muscle pumping and his movements will not be so sweeping. Let's help Stepan go through the rehabilitation necessary to improve his health!
