Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) – what is this?
CIMT is a therapeutic intervention for children with hemiplegia or other conditions affecting the use of one arm and hand.
CIMT enables children to reach out towards their full potential by encouraging and facilitating increased use of their weaker arm in fun and functional tasks. Our Infinity Physiotherapists have specialist training to be able to offer this intervention.
Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) – what is this?
SDR is a surgical procedure, which aims to reduce spasticity (muscle stiffness) in the lower limbs of children with Cerebral Palsy. It is not suitable for all children and evidence is still emerging as to its long-term effectiveness. Children who do undergo this surgery require an intense period of rehabilitation post-op, which our Infinity Physiotherapists are experienced in providing.
Developmental Co-ordination Disorder (DCD) – what is this?
DCD (also known as Dyspraxia) is a neurological condition, which causes a delay in the development or difficulty coordinating movements. Our Infinity Physiotherapists have specialist training in how to assess, treat and manage this condition.
