Patient's question:
My child is already three years old, but when I look at him, I feel something unexplainably abnormal. His small hands wave abnormally, and there is a lot of saliva dripping from his mouth. When I took him for a check-up, the doctor said that the child had cerebral palsy due to lack of oxygen at birth.Doctor's answer:
As therapeutic exercise (sports therapy), it includes gross motor skills, fine motor skills, balance and coordination training; such as crawling, purposeful pointing (nose, ears, etc.), training grasping objects, holding objects, sitting up, swaying, walking (back against the wall, facing the wall), in-place exercises (bending down to pick up objects, foot lifting training, single-leg standing, in-place jumping), walking, running; for example, physical therapy, including neuromuscular electrical stimulation therapy, thermotherapy, hydrotherapy; as well as occupational therapy, which involves functional training, but the efficacy is generally moderate. The modern medical treatment methods are as follows: ① surgery; ② orthotics; ③ hydrotherapy, electrotherapy, phototherapy, and sonotherapy; ④ speech and communication therapy; ⑤ treatment for motor function; ⑥ activities of daily living (ADL) training.
