Patient's question:
When checked at the local hospital and just diagnosed with childhood cerebral palsy, the family was very shocked and didn't know what to do. Where should they go for treatment?Doctor's answer:
1. Central motor disorders are characterized by significantly delayed motor development compared to children of the same age. The disease is often discovered by parents when the child struggles to lift their head, roll over, or sit up. The limbs of the affected child rarely move, especially the lower limbs, often、、. Due to difficulties in voluntary movement, the actions are stiff and uncoordinated, often exhibiting abnormal movement patterns.2. Abnormal muscle tone and posture. When there are lesions in the extrapyramidal system or basal ganglia, the main manifestations of cerebral palsy in children include abnormal movements, increased muscle tone, athetosis, chorea, and muscle rigidity. When there are lesions in the cerebellum, ataxia and hypotonia may appear.
