Parents came up with the idea after scouring the internet for treatment Mother Sara's joy at seeing her son walk for the first time 'I noticed the difference as soon as we got home... it was amazing' By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 10:55 EST, 6 April 2013 | UPDATED: 10:59 EST, 6 April 2013 Brave: Cerebral palsy sufferer Aiden Farrel, three, stands with his legs straight after receiving 12 botox injections Brave toddler Aiden Farrell has taken his first steps after having injections of the anti-ageing cosmetic drug botox in his legs. Aiden, three, was born with crippling cerebral palsy and his muscles tightened up so much so he was unable to straighten his legs without feeling terrible pain. The toddlers parents Sara and Gevun scoured the internet for treatment and discovered the wrinkle-busting injections before presenting the idea to NHS bosses. Botox injections work by unblocking nerve impulses which restrict his movement - the same way celebrities use it to combat the effects of ageing. Mother-of-four Sara, 31, from Gosport, Hampshire, said: 'Seeing Aiden take his first steps is something I never dreamed would be possible. 'I noticed as soon as we got home after having the treatment the … Continue reading →

Therapy programs provide real results for speech, voice and physical movement for Parkinsons Disease patients and offer hope for Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy and Downs Syndrome patients (PRWEB) March 29, 2013 The occupational therapy component works on fine motor skills like writing, getting dressed and doing basic household chores. This therapy helps our patients manipulate zippers and buttons so they have more clothing options like wearing regular trousers, and they are no longer limited to wearing elastic waistband pants, said Erik Spahn, Certified Occupational Therapist at Florida Hospital Tampa. LSVT LOUD improves vocal loudness by stimulating the muscles of the voice box (larynx) and speech mechanism through a systematic hierarchy of exercises. This program improves breathing, swallowing and talking clearly. The treatment does not train people for shouting or yelling; it actually helps patients reach a healthy vocal loudness with no strain. While LSVT LOUD has been successfully administered to individuals in all stages of PD, the treatment is most effective among those who are in early or middle stages of the condition. Recently, LSVT LOUD is being applied to select individuals with stroke, multiple sclerosis, Downs syndrome and cerebral palsy with positive outcomes. The therapy program consists of … Continue reading →

Reid Davenport, a 22-year-old with cerebral palsy, will present his documentary Wheelchair Diaries: One Step Up at the Boys & Girls Club of Ridgefield on Thursday, March 28 at 7 p.m. He will also debut his motivational lecture, Everyone Has a High School Story, immediately following the film. The event is free and open to the public. Reid exemplifies courage and determination and his film highlights the importance of inclusion and acceptance, all of which we emphasize with the youth at the club, said Julia Hadlock, the club executive director. Mr. Davenport graduated from George Washington University with a bachelors degree in journalism and mass communications in May 2012. His disability and journalistic career collided unexpectedly as a junior in college when he was discouraged from studying abroad in Italy because of the lack of accessibility. He decided to go to Europe anyway and document his journey. Along with his experiences, the movie features three people with disabilities living in Europe. Their stories challenge the status quo of both European and societys treatment of people with disability. The accessibility and social norms with regards to physical accessibility are completely different in Europe, Davenport said. But the desire for people with … Continue reading →

Rebekah Adams wanted pedals under her feet. Nothing else not a scooter, a four-wheeler or a seat on her dad's bicycle could measure up. Rebekah, an 11-year-old who lives with her family in Banks, was born with cerebral palsy, a disorder that affects brain and nervous system functions. In addition, according to her father, Scott Adams, as a toddler Rebekah was diagnosed with cancer and underwent radiation treatment that further impeded Rebekah's control of her body. But when her sister Sarah learned to ride a tricycle, Rebekah wanted to join her. "She tried to ride it, but she couldn't," said Sarah, now 8. "I used to push her." Adams said balance and coordination are Rebekah's primary problems when it comes to riding. "Her feet can't work together to pedal," he said. Scott Adams tried to find alternatives to include Rebekah in the activity. He gave her a bike with no pedals to walk around on and towed her in child seats, but he knew Rebekah wanted to pedal on her own. Two years ago, when Rebekah and Sarah's mother died after a battle with Lou Gehrig's disease, the family took a three-week camping trip to start healing. During the trip, … Continue reading →
