My Uncle Is Suffering From Cerebral Palsy , Please Suggest

Hello Sir, Good Day> I have my Uncle (Dad's brother) about 40years of age & working as a teacher in Govt School. He is suffering from Cerebral Palsy.It is very difficult for him to stand or sit. He always needs someone besides him for support. I request you to pls suggest me how should I proceed for his treatment. I think if by treatment, we can make his condition a bit better where in he could be able to walk by himself, it would be of a great help for him. Pls take your valuable time & suggest me in this regards. my email id is-- rrpadhi@rediffmail.com.

cerebral palsy is a different disease and what the person is suffering is different. it is stroke.  and in stroke the nervous tissue die and the function done by the nervous tissue is lost, unfortunately nervous tissue once dead cannot be regenerated or with treatment it cannot be regrown. the option left with you is to wait for time when the neighbout living tissue will take up some of the task of the dead nervous cells. for that it takes time usually it ranges from 6 to 10 months

the treatment option now is to get the physiotheraphy done to keep the muscles intact and to prevent it from getting stiff so that when the surrounding nerve tissue starts functioning the muscles will act. so its rehabilation physiotheraphy which you have to follow now
