Only the body louse is known to spread disease. Lice infestations (pediculosis and pthiriasis) are spread most commonly by close person-to-person contact. Dogs, cats, and other pets do not play a role in the transmission of human lice. Lice move by crawling; they cannot hop or fly.
Physical therapy and recovery from injury. Physical therapy can help you recover from an injury and avoid future injury. Your physical therapist can help you reduce pain in the soft tissues (muscles, tendons, and ligaments), build muscle strength, and improve flexibility, function, and range of motion.
Physical therapy can also treat a range of other issues experienced by children with CP, including: 1  Scoliosis â an abnormal curvature in the spine, common in up to 30 percent of children with cerebral palsy. 2  Thoracic kyphosis â a contortion of the upper spine. 3  Lumbar lordosis â a contortion of the lower spine.
