Similarly, if you have to end the coversation, say so. The cause for congenital amputations is unknown, as neither science nor medicine understands how or why a limb stops developing normally. For congenital amputations, early fitting of artifical limbs, along with training on how to use them, is very important. For children with congenital amputations of the lower limb, the prosthesis is fitted when the child has developed standing balance. Congenital upper limb amputees are usually fitted when the baby has sitting balance.
Frequent replacement is necessary during the child's growth period.
Cerebral Palsy Cerebral Palsy is a non-progressive disability in which children have difficulty with motor control, for example muscle tone, of certain groups of muscles. The disabling effects of Cerebral Palsy range from very slight impairments of motor control to near-total impairment of voluntary movement, and it may also affect your upper limbs, lower limbs and eye movements. Cerebral Palsy is a result of a cerebral defect or injury to the area of the brain which controls movement, which is often diagnosed in the first five years of life. Cerebral Palsy may also cause intellectual, sensory, behavioural and perceptual problems, frequently found in combination with each other. It is important to remember that people with Cerebral Palsy, no matter how severe the degree of physical disability, don't necessarily have intellectual or cognitive impairments.
