JAMMU, Mar 4: Nine-year-old Mausmi Dali and 8-year-old Divyanshu Kumar suffering from Cerebral Palsy received a new ray of hope from Narayan Seva Sansthan after being operated for free. Narayan Seva Sansthan has conducted over 28,234 post-operative procedures on cerebral palsy patients to offer them a normal lifestyle.
Mausmi Dali before the treatment was diagnosed with active ankle toe movement and had a restricted movement in ankle rom. The child had straight leg raise that was active but was unable to raise it beyond 10 degrees. Post treatment she has been able to have a good toe movement with a straight leg raise coupled with stronger hip abductors.
Another case, of the 8 year old Divyanshu Kumar suffering from Cerebral Palsy had a condition of lack of coordination, balance, and proprioception. He faced a medical condition of restricted ankle rom and toe movement that arose due to tight muscles that causing further issues in his Quadriceps muscles like rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius and hamstring.
Dr Karan Singh Devda at Narayan Seva Sansthan said, “Both Mausmi and Devyanshu had a typical condition of Cerebral Palsy. However both were different from the other. Keeping in mind the complications of these cases we developed a strategy that was successful.”
Prashant Agarwal, president of Narayan Seva Sansthan stated, “Often Cerebral Palsy is given up by patients and their parents with a myth that there is no cure. Also free treatment that would bring in a strong change in the overall well-being of the patient is not offered by many institutions. NSS has treated 9,121 children under the age of 5years for Cerebral Palsy.”
Agarwal further added that, “Narayan Seva Sansthan offers free treatment at their facility which is a pain free surgical experience. Our doctors at NSS have conducted 4,12,500 corrective surgeries till date, we have also offered 10,31,047 physiotherapy sessions and have conducted 3985 health check camps till date”.
