Diplegia Atonic

Atonic diplegia (diplegia atonica; synonym cerebellar diplegia) is a form of cerebral palsy characterized by predominant damage to the lower extremities.

With atonic diplegia, there is a decrease in muscle tone (atony) in the legs, which leads to disturbances in gait and posture. Typical symptoms are a shuffling gait, splayed legs when walking, and poor balance. The upper extremities are usually less affected.

The cause of atonic diplegia is damage (dysplasia, atrophy) of the cerebellum in the prenatal period or in early childhood. Often this is a complication of prematurity or a previous cytomegalovirus infection.

Treatment includes drug therapy to improve muscle tone, physiotherapy, massage, physical therapy, and, if necessary, surgical treatment (tendon-muscle plasty, correction of contractures). Early diagnosis and an integrated approach are important for the maximum possible restoration of motor functions. The prognosis depends on the severity of the cerebellar lesion.



Diplegia Atonica (Diplégia Atonica) is a common cause of the growth of the ridges, which may have significant clinical manifestations in youth. Atonic diplegia is also called cerebellar diplegia, because it causes symptoms of nerve dysfunction, including uncontrollable stiffness of the gait and muscle movement. Considering this degenerative axiopathy, we understood that St. Augustine was the first to fight it in the 4th century. This unique physiological state is characterized by a spinal growth of uneven life, which leads to an unmarked convulsive or stagnant action.

All physiologists suffer from significant, minimally significant dysfunctions that end; The invasion of mixed neurological and cerebral conditions is expected to lead to up to three types of death. Due to the inability to control your hands, atonic diplegia has a paralyzing effect on the entire center of the body, making it clumsy and difficult to handle.
