How To Treat And Manage Congenital Hydrocephalus

Physical Rehabilitation

If the hydrocephalus was not diagnosed or treated as soon as possible, it may end up causing physical development issues. Children born with hydrocephalus often struggle with coordination, have poor vision, and have impaired motor skills. Physical rehabilitation is a valuable tool for treating these symptoms. Therapy can teach children how to better control their body, so they can run around with constantly tripping and falling. Exercises help to strengthen underused muscles, and repeated practice makes it easier for children to have coordination. Physical therapy also provides techniques that make it easier for children to dress themselves, use a fork, write with a pencil, or tie a shoe. The right rehabilitation will help a child with congenital hydrocephalus to lead a normal life as they get older.
