Can a child with cerebral palsy who is eight months old be cured?

Patient's question:

My child is eight months old, and so far, they still can't grasp objects, sit, stand, crawl, or roll over. Their hands are always clenched. They experienced oxygen deprivation at birth, and the examination revealed hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to undergo systematic rehabilitation treatment, including aspects such as movement, cognition, communication, and language. If there are no abnormal postures, developmental skills can be promoted according to developmental programs, learning and practicing various abilities such as sitting, crawling, standing, imitating sounds, inducing pronunciation, understanding, and recognizing objects. It is essential to ensure training intensity and repetition, reduce over-reliance and protection, and engage more in parent-child games and kindergarten learning. It is believed that progress should gradually be made.
