Patient's question:
Starting with the toes touching the ground, the legs aren't very controllable. Now the leg muscles are very stiff.Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy refers to a group of movement disorders characterized by impaired voluntary movement, resulting from prenatal developmental abnormalities or perinatal injuries or occurring in the form of symptoms of a brain disorder. Cerebral palsy is primarily characterized by motor disorders, including abnormal posture and muscle tone, involuntary movements, and ataxia. It is often accompanied by sensory, cognitive, communication, behavioral, and balance impairments, and may include seizures. Children with cerebral palsy have lower motor skills and control abilities, such as inflexible movements and dance-like involuntary movements in the hands. In severe cases, they may be unable to grasp objects, stand, or walk.The treatment plan for cerebral palsy should aim to maximize functional improvement and enhance the quality of life for the child. The treatment methods for this condition involve rehabilitation therapy, which can help children achieve the highest possible level of normal function. It is recommended to seek treatment in the rehabilitation department of a regular hospital.
