Nakintu Catherine developed jaundice a week after birth, which led to cerebral palsy. This caused problems with balance, weak neck and trunk muscles, and low muscle tone in her limbs, all of which slowed her development. After several therapy sessions and a home exercise routine provided by her mother, Catherine made good progress. Her neck and trunk muscles strengthened, allowing her to sit up straight and keep her head aligned. Eventually, she learned to stand independently and take steps with a walker. After more progress, she was able to walk on her own. Today, Catherine is fully independent. She can play with other children and feed herself without help.
