Résumé
This is a case report of a seven year old boy with cerebral palsy (CP) with a chief complaint of frequent falls and inability to walk independently without support. Gross motor milestones were delayed and on evaluation child demonstrated delayed, inappropriate and poorly developed postural reaction responses. To the best of knowledge of the authors, intervention in CP generally aims at managing tonal abnormalities, persistent pathological reflexes and achievement of motor milestones, but the key element for the development of motor control i.e. postural reaction deficits, is generally ignored. This case report emphasizes the need to assess postural reaction deficits and incorporate dynamics of postural control as an integral element for development / modification of postural control in CP.
