Patient's question:
The baby cannot stand alone, cannot walk alone. The right hand is normal, the right hand is not flexible. Both hands can be exchanged. Can call dad and mom. Will not crawl. Will roll over. Premature. There were breathing difficulties in newborns. Previous rescue situations and effects: Currently just admitted...Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy is divided into four types: severe pain type, involuntary movement type, ataxia type, hypertonia torsion type, and mixed type. Due to the underdeveloped nervous system in infants and young children, and the lack of specialization in functional areas of brain tissue, repeated impacts can easily lead to the formation of new synapses and neural circuits, reshuffling the network system of central nervous function groups, allowing damaged functions to fully recover. Once a brain region responsible for a specific movement is injured, its function can be replaced and compensated by undamaged areas. Additionally, since brain damage in infants and young children is in its early stages, abnormal postures and patterns have not yet been fixed, making it easier for children to practice new postures and patterns.1. Physical therapy can include electrical muscle stimulation and hydrotherapy.
2. Activity therapy continuously reads normal movement and sensory information into the central nervous system, enabling the reconstruction of functional assets within and between the central nervous system to overcome the representation of damaged functions. It should adhere to the principle of individualization. This includes traditional activity therapy, neurophysiological therapy (e.g., Bobath and Vojta methods).
3. Language training: Communication, suppression of abnormal postures, and articulation training.
4. Others: Acupuncture, massage, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
