See these pictures we are trying to correct the neck deformity. He has spatsic quadriplegic celebral palsy in which now the child is facing difficult in swallowing as the result of poor positioning of the neck so we are trying to correct the neck positioning using neck collar!
the first picture there are Paulos Father, paulo and Ruth the occupational therapist testing the new support collar.
In Tanzania due to poor knowledge, culture and economic system as well the children with these condition suffer a lot with living. The children with CP develop contructures and deformities and if severe many of them die due to life complications!
Paulo and his mum, hoping that the collar will ease up eating process and help Paulos growth rate.
Enjoy your weekend and thanks for following our work!
