By Allah’s Grace, the medical team of King Fahd Medical City-Riyadh has successfully restored the ability to walk for a patient with cerebral palsy (CP) at a rate exceeded 140 %., and helped him to sit again
According to Riyadh Second Health Cluster, the patient's condition was a difficult one; as his CP, which is measured in degrees from 1 to 5, was of the first degree. It is a simple case, and the patient has the ability to walk without support, while the fifth degree is the worst, in which the patient is a wheelchair-bound and completely dependent on assistance in all his daily affairs. The medical team pointed out that the patient was able to walk again 6 months after the surgery using the walker, but lost the ability to sit and walk due to the increase in the degree of deviation; which led to his imbalance, and his inability to sit and walk without support.
