What are the possible manifestations that a child may have, which can be considered as infantile cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

Health consultation description: Doctor, hello! The child is now one year old and still struggles a bit with standing. Some children have already started walking, and I'm very worried that the child might have a brain issue or some other disease. I took the child to the hospital for standing/walking and hearing tests, and it was confirmed that the child has symptoms of cerebral palsy.
What symptoms can be considered signs of cerebral palsy in children?

Doctor's answer:

This condition is generally curable, and the therapist should develop a home training program for the child and their parents. The program should focus on improving function and preventing secondary impairments, but for particularly severe cases, facilitative care and reducing family stress should be the primary goals. Understanding the child's condition and planning daily routines; targeted muscle and joint mobility training; stretching therapy for muscles with severe pain. I recommend a light diet, avoiding greasy foods. Do not smoke or drink beer, and avoid overexertion. Drink plenty of water, eat more fruits and vegetables. Engage in more outdoor activities, exercise regularly, and maintain good health.
