What should I do if an eight-month-old child cannot walk yet?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
It still won't leave;;; The answer showed it was good;;; Took a CT scan, said it's right brain underdevelopment. Past treatment history and effectiveness: Didn't care what kind of assistance: Can it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

This may be cerebral palsy, which is typically characterized by non-progressive brain damage or brain developmental abnormalities caused by various reasons from before birth to one month after birth, leading to central motor disorders. Clinical diagnosis is characterized by abnormal posture and muscle tone, muscle weakness, involuntary movements, and ataxia, often accompanied by sensory, cognitive, communication, and behavioral impairments, as well as secondary skeletal muscle abnormalities, and may include seizures.
Recommendations: The treatment plan should aim to maximize the stabilization of the child's function and improve their quality of life, while minimizing secondary joint deformities and soft tissue scar contractures, and delaying or avoiding surgical interventions as much as possible. Rehabilitation therapy is typically used.
