Leicestershire boy with cerebral palsy learns to walk

Leicestershire boy with cerebral palsy learns to walk A five-year-old boy who has cerebral palsy has learned to walk after a life-changing operation and months of physiotherapy.

The part of Joey's brain that controlled muscle tone and movement was damaged, meaning he couldn't sit, stand or walk.

He underwent a neurosurgical procedure, which destroyed the problematic nerve roots in his spinal cord that were sending abnormal messages to his leg muscles. BBC News
