Patient's question:
I feel his upper body is softer. The doctor said his gross motor skills are only at the level of a 3-month-old child, making him a high-risk infant for cerebral palsy.Doctor's answer:
Prematurity is a high-risk factor for cerebral palsy. You need to pay more attention to observation. The two prerequisites for diagnosing cerebral palsy are: 1. Prematurity, hypoxia-ischemia, hyperbilirubinemia, and a history of brain injury; 2. Behavioral inflexibility and the presence of motor disorders. Besides not being able to roll over, can your child stand with support? How is the muscle tone in their limbs? Relying on rolling over alone is not enough to diagnose cerebral palsy. I hope you can further observe whether your child has any other abnormal conditions? Some preventive interventions can be done at home, such as passive exercises, but you need to learn them specifically.
