ABSTRACT
Out of many causes of Paediatric Stroke, Sickle Cell Disease is one of the crucial conditions with the risk of Stroke highest during the first decade that is between the ages of 2 & 5 years. Reported here, however, is a case of a 10-year-old male child with sudden onset left side hemiplegia with facial muscle weakness, who was a known case of Sickle Cell disease since 6 months of age. With the inability to use the upper extremities & walk independently, the patient was functionally dependent with a Fugl Meyer score of 55/126 & Berg balance scale score of 18/56. After 4 months of Physiotherapy Treatment patient was able to use the Upper extremities for functional activities and was able to walk independently with a Berg balance scale score of 46/56.With very few cases of pediatric Stroke receiving Physiotherapy care being reported in the literature, this case report establishes the role of Physiotherapy in preventing long-term neuro developmental disability.
