MEU FILHO COM ESPASTICIDADE: O QUE É, O QUE CAUSA E QUANDO A CIRURGIA É INDICADA| EP.: 142

My Child Has Spasticity — What to Do? | Neural Connection #142 Stiff muscles. Difficult movements. A child who struggles against their own body to walk, hold on, sit. If you live with spasticity on a daily basis — whether as a parent, caregiver, or healthcare professional — you know how much it steals. It steals movement, it steals autonomy, it steals developmental time. But there is treatment. There is progress. And there is, in selected cases, surgery that can completely change a child's trajectory. In this episode of Neural Connection, I, Eduardo Jucá, Pediatric Neurosurgeon, explain everything you need to know about childhood spasticity — from causes to treatment, with clinical honesty and language that anyone can understand. What you will learn in this episode: What is spasticity and why does it happen? What conditions most frequently cause spasticity in children — cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries, TBI, and others The real harm that untreated spasticity causes to development Why multidisciplinary treatment is not optional — it's central to everything The role of each professional: physiotherapist, occupational therapist, orthopedist, neurologist, and neurosurgeon What is Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy, how does it work, who is it indicated for, and what to expect after surgery Spasticity doesn't have to define your child's future. The correct diagnosis, the right team, and the right time to intervene make all the difference. This episode is for those who want to understand — and for those who want to act. 📌 Save this video and share it with other families who are on this journey. 💬 Leave your question or experience in the comments.
