Patient's question:
Can a child born with infantile cerebral palsy walk and talk when they grow up?Doctor's answer:
Rehabilitation after cerebral palsy is a very long process. It is impossible to see significant results in just 1-2 months. Cerebral palsy is a brain disease caused by hypoxia-ischemia before or during birth, leading to the apoptosis of local brain cells. Theoretically, the apoptosis of nerve cells is irreversible, and rehabilitation treatment can only aim to restore some functions as much as possible. The efficacy of medication also varies from person to person, with significant individual differences. It is still better to persist with rehabilitation. Long-term rehabilitation requires mental preparation.
