Successful Cerebral Palsy Treatment of Baby Ilumbe Darwin in India

Baby Ilumbe Darwin, a one-year-old baby, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, which is a common neurological disorder that appears in infancy or early childhood and permanently damages body movement and muscle coordination.

When baby Ilumbe was 6 months old, his mother noticed he had difficulty controlling his head, rolling or turning, sitting up, reaching for objects, and transferring objects from one hand to another. He always remained lying on the bed without moving his head. She needed to resolve all her baby boy's problems, which meant she was willing to find a solution. This problem-solving approach led her to find MediGence online, the global medical assistance company with a chain of advanced neuro-focused rehabilitation centres in India.

She immediately booked an online consultation with the clinical director of MediGence, Dr Vijita, on its telemedicine platform to discuss the condition of her son and to seek a plan of recovery.

Meeting Dr. Vijita & Team at MediGence

After consulting with Dr Vijita Jayan and MediGence, Ilumbe Darwin's parents became very confident in selecting MediGence for their baby's advanced rehabilitation program to treat the underlying symptoms.

Baby Ilumbe and her mother set off for India with much hope. She was well received at the airport by the team of MediGence and was transferred to the private accommodation owned by MediGence.

The next day, they were picked up from the accommodation to start the treatment at the rehabilitation centre. After a thorough physical assessment of the child's condition and specific investigations, the team at MediGence confirmed the diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy and proposed an initial program for 30 days.

A Successful Cerebral Palsy Treatment in 30 Days

The rehabilitation program aims to provide the best physiotherapist and highly successful neuro techniques for the better recovery of baby Ilumbe. The hospital has high-technology equipment, and skilled therapists ensured that Baby Ilumbe's treatment was complete and sequential. The highly skilled physiotherapy team provided treatment to the baby Ilumbe by using modern techniques, which have a long, challenging healing process, and was complemented by modern neurological approaches to regain abilities.

Dr Nida Javed used numerous therapeutic techniques to help the child. Because each child is unique and has their own set of strengths and challenges, she uses many therapeutic methods, including Neurodevelopmental therapy, Dynamic movement intervention, PNF patterns, and different types of stretches. She also focuses on grasping activities, fine motor activities and gross motor activities.

Upon discharge from MediGence, baby Ilumbe was able to control his head and neck, sit without support, turn side to side, and control his trunk. His alignment improved with much controlled posture.

The parents are elated to see the progress in such a short period of time and have decided to continue with the treatment for 3 more months.
