Mild CP and tremors

smcgee83

Hi everyone, 
We recently had a diagnosis of 'Bilateral Cerebral Palsy with subtle right hemiparesis' for my son, he is 6 and is just about to go into year 2 in primary school. 
He has intention (action) tremors that make writing and other fine motor tasks very difficult, just wondered if anyone else on here suffers with tremors and would like to give any advise or discuss ideas.

Thanks

Hi @smcgee83
Welcome to our community and thank you for your post. Has your son been prescribed medication to manage the intention tremor? Medication can lessen the tremor but not stop it completely.

Hi, thank you for your response. No he is not currently on any medication, just physio and OT.

@Richard_Scope would lycra garments help? I have Ataxia and these helps me to feel more in control

@Ami2301 they could provide some benefit. @smcgee83 has the physiotherapist or OT suggested anything like this?
