Postural control is balance – the ability to maintain balance in a posture while attending to, and engaged in, a task. Postural control emerges on the basis of an innate necessity to gain and maintain upright postures, and is achieved and refined in all functioning positions and postures during the first 10 years of life, […]
The central nervous system continually adapts to repeated experiences by creating neural connections and tracts. This process is fundamental to sensorimotor development, [1] to the acquisition of skills in maintaining balance and completing tasks, and to rehabilitation efforts.[2] Developing infants learn to learn by engaging in immense and varied repetition – i.e. practice – of […]
Hypo (low) tonia (tone or tension in muscles) is evident in a state of hypermobility of the trunk and limb joints. How TheraTogs Can Help Generalized hypotonia diminishes the function of the somatosensory (position and movement) receptors in joints and muscles, contributing to delays and deficits in the development of postural control and gross motor […]

Quadriplegic CP is a subcategory of cerebral palsy (CP) that pertains to those who show a functional deficit (paresis) in the trunk, neck, and all 4 (quad) extremities. Quadriplegia occurs in approximately 6% of the population of children with CP.[1] Many of this group of children are severely involved. How TheraTogs Can Help TheraTogs […]
Hemiplegia is a complex disorder that is compounded by the child’s ability to find strategies using the less affected extremities that compensate for the difficulties encountered on the affected side. The result is a progressive deterioration of function, size, muscle extensibility, and use-related bone growth and formation in the limbs on the affected side. How […]
Dystonia is an extrapyramidal subtype of dyskinetic cerebral palsy (CP) in which involuntary movements occur due to dysfunction of the basal ganglia in the brain. How TheraTogs Can Help The presence of uncontrolled movements interferes with the processing of somatosensory information from muscles, joints, and skin, with the acquisition and maintenance of postural control , […]
