Report

Katya has been suffering from cerebral palsy since her birth. Last august the girl ended up in an orphanage.

During one of the visits to Petrovsk-Zabaikalsky orphanage the doctors of the medical team of the fund “Doroga zhizni” examinated Katya and diagnosticated that she had a great rehabilitation potential. So the fund brought Katya for operation to Moscow. It is very important now to develop the muscles which are got out of the movement slowly giving them a load. Leg braces which are customized to fit her own measurements, will help Katya to fix the leg in the correct position and the girl slowly can get on her own feet and start to walk.
