| description | Astrocytomas are one of the most common primary tumours of central nervous system seen in paediatric population. Although it is
treatable and has a good prognosis, some individuals suffer from motor dysfunction following brain tumour resection which could
result in decreased mobility, difficulty with daily tasks, increased risk of immobility-related problems, falls, pain, anxiety/depression.
Thus, having a negative impact on overall quality of life and functional independence. Comprehensive neurophysiotherapy in such
cases play a critical role in preventing and alleviating motor dysfunction, and its effects, and improve functional independence. This is
the report of a 10-year-old female with astrocytoma in the right frontoparietal lobe, which was diagnosed using magnetic resonance
imaging and immunohistochemistry. She underwent craniotomy for the same. But after tumour resection, she developed left hemiplegia
wherein involvement of upper limb was more as compared to lower limb. She was given neurophysiotherapy and Accelerated Skill
Acquisition Programme (ASAP) which aided in improving upper extremity motor function and functional independence. |
