Doctors’ responses
Leg stiffness or stress in cerebral palsy is mainly due to muscle spasticity and tightness, not muscle weakness alone. The condition cannot be completely cured, but it can be significantly improved and well-managed with regular physiotherapy and correct exercises.
Sit-ups, squats, and walking can help, but they must be done properly and under guidance, because incorrect technique may increase stiffness instead of improving it.
Hello,
In cerebral palsy, leg shivering after exercise happens due to muscle spasticity, fatigue, and poor motor control.
When muscles are stressed, the brain–muscle signals become irregular, causing tremors/shaking.
This is common in CP and not dangerous.
Will sit-ups, squats, walking help?
Walking – YES (very helpful) Squats – YES, but only supported & slow Sit-ups – limited benefit for leg control
Best exercises
Do daily, slow, and controlled: Supported walking (treadmill or ground) Static cycling Wall squats (hold chair/rail) Bridging exercise (for hip stability) Hamstring & calf stretching (very important) Balance exercises (standing with support)
🛑🛑Warm up 5–10 min Stop before severe fatigue (over-fatigue worsens tremor) Stretch after exercise Consistency > intensity
This problem can improve with the right exercises and regular physio.
I trust this helps Thank you
