Cerebral Palsy Support Pakistan
Cerebral Palsy Support and Equipment Guidance in Pakistan
Every child with cerebral palsy is different. RehabMart Pakistan first understands the child's sitting, posture, standing, walking, daily-care, and caregiver-support needs before recommending equipment.
Har bacha different hota hai. CP chair har child ke liye same solution nahi hota. Pehle sitting, standing, walking aur daily care need samajhna zaroori hota hai.
Family Guidance
CP support is not only a CP chair
Many parents ask for a CP chair first, but the right solution depends on the child's actual need. A child who falls sideways may need postural seating. A child who cannot tolerate standing may need standing support first. A child who wants to walk but loses balance may need a gait trainer, posture walker, or CP walker. Daily care also matters, including toileting, bathing, transfers, and caregiver safety.

Assessment Required
Why one CP chair is not enough for every child
Children with cerebral palsy can have different GMFCS levels, posture needs, tone, balance, head control, trunk control, hip position, fatigue, and family routines. One child may need simple sitting support. Another may need pelvic support, head support, standing support, gait training, bathroom positioning, or transfer support. The right equipment depends on the child, not just the diagnosis.
