His case doesn't sound too severe and I do not think he is planning on spending 10 years in the country but Koreans do have victims of cerebal palsy thus I am sure they have treatments available for secondary ailments for him if necessary.
Here is a good link to read:

| An individual may also have health conditions, called co-mitigating factors, which co-exist with cerebral palsy but are unrelated to it. Unlike associative conditions, researchers have not concluded these conditions have a high correlation with cerebral palsy, but the multi-disciplinary treatment team will take co-mitigating factors into consideration when forming a comprehensive treatment plan for a child with cerebral palsy. |
This quote addresses your point
| Quote: |
Cerebral palsy is non-progressive, meaning the brain damage or malformation will not progress in severity. However, conditions resulting from the brain damage may develop and change over time. Over the course of the person�s life, he or she may encounter any number of associative or co-mitigating factors.
Impairments can change with � or without � proper management. As a person ages, the muscular-skeletal structure may age prematurely depending on postural conditions, care, treatment and therapy. Other health conditions or life circumstances may also affect the child�s condition over time. These can include access to health care, health insurance benefits, exposure to toxins, new health conditions, socialization, exercise, and traumatic accidents or events. |
'flare-ups' was the wrong word to use. Koreans have good treatment facilities I doubt he would be in much danger and it would depend upon what activities he became involved in. I think the OP is intelligent enough to know what he needs and where to find treatment and would research Korea's medical offerings to make sure he would be safe. |
