DESCRIPTION:

Step up for STEPtember and fight against Cerebral Palsy.


STEPtember, organized by the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation, is an annual event held in September to raise awareness and funds for cerebral palsy (CP) research. Participants engage in various physical activities, including stepping, to promote fitness and support advancements in CP research and treatment.

Cerebral Palsy is a neurological disorder caused by brain damage that affects muscle coordination and body movement. CP is the most common physical disability in childhood and is often caused by factors that affect brain development before, during, or shortly after birth. These may include infections during pregnancy, lack of oxygen, premature birth, and traumatic head injury in early childhood.

Prevention of cerebral palsy focuses primarily on mitigating these risk factors, including ensuring proper prenatal care, preventing head injuries in young children, and managing health conditions during pregnancy. However, since many causes of CP are related to unforeseen complications, not all cases can be prevented.

Treatment for CP is highly individualized, depending on the severity and specific symptoms experienced by the individual. 

Common treatments include:

  • Physical Therapy: Helps to improve strength, mobility, and balance.
  • Occupational Therapy: Aids in developing fine motor skills and independence in daily activities.
  • Speech Therapy: Assists with communication skills and swallowing difficulties.
  • Medication: Can be used to manage symptoms such as muscle stiffness and seizures.
  • Surgery: In some cases, surgeries may be necessary to manage orthopedic issues or other complications.

STEPtember is a crucial platform for increasing understanding of cerebral palsy and supporting ongoing research efforts. Through fundraising and engagement in physical activity, participants contribute to developing new treatments and therapies, enhancing the quality of life for individuals with CP. The event also aims to build a supportive community, offering solidarity and encouragement to those affected by cerebral palsy and their families.
