Can you say atrophy and contractures sure ya can!:

If Luna was more then just a prop you'd actually see her wearing afos and hand splints quite more often. But Luna is just a woo prop and actually care of her pain/function is not a part of this.
There's some random older kid on the couch during these vids. Maybe more support that these "therapists" aren't real either?
Was attempting to find precedence for her constant mouth movements. They may be a form of seizure known as NCSE. This is usally seen as lipsmacking movements.
Here is more proof her movements are indictive of the brain damage she has:
| Abnormal movement | Definition | Pathophysiological origin |
|---|
| Chorea | Involuntary, purposeless, nonrhythmic, non-sustained movements that flow from one body part to the other | Poorly understood. Could be due to loss of normal pallidal inhibitory input |
| Hemiballismus: a severe form of chorea, is characterized by vigorous irregular high amplitude movements on one side of the body | Hemiballismus happens secondary to injury of the subthalamic nucleus | |
| Clonus | Rhythmic involuntary muscular contractions and relaxations | Upper motor neuron injury and its descending pathways |
| Dystonia | Sustained twisting movements that are often frequent and progresses to prolonged abnormal postures | Basal ganglia. Abnormalities are also seen in the cortex and reduction in spinal cord and brainstem inhibition |
| Myoclonus | Sudden, brief involuntary movements which may be caused by muscle contractions (positive myoclonus) | Widespread origin depending on the injury or type: cortical, subcortical (basal ganglia), brainstem or spinal cord in segmental myoclonus |
| Asterixis is considered a negative myoclonus secondary to sudden loss of tone | | |
| NCSE | Unilateral eye deviation, lip smacking, automatisms and some movements of the fingers | Cortical in origin |
| Paroxysmal posturing | Involuntary flexor or extensor posturing on one side or bilateral spontaneously or with pain. Opisthotonus posturing refers to hyperextension of the neck and back “arching position” | Damage above the red nucleus (flexion posturing) or below (extensor posturing) Midbrain injury or tetanus (opisthotonus) |
| Shivering | High frequency involuntary muscular contractions involving one group or more of muscles | Thermoregulatory (due to hypothermia) or non-thermoregulatory (not well understood) |
| Tics | Abnormal movements (motor) or sounds (phonic) which can be simple muscle jerks or complex when they consist of sequential movements in different parts of the body | May be related to abnormalities in the basal ganglia |
| Tremor | Oscillatory rhythmic movement that affects one or more parts of the body | Likely related to the presence of central oscillator in the basal ganglia or cerebellum |
