Patient's question:
Cerebral palsy caused by congenital brain malformation leading to difficulty walkingDoctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy treatment improves motor function by increasing joint mobility, adjusting muscle tone, and enhancing motor control, coordination, strength, and endurance, thereby enhancing self-care abilities. Additionally, medication can be used, with common drugs including neurotrophic agents for the brain and muscle relaxants. Medication should only be used when necessary. When muscles are severely contracted or joints are deformed, orthopedic surgery can be considered, and it is preferable to perform all necessary corrections in a single surgery to better improve function postoperatively.
