Patient's question:
The child is already nine years old and, according to expectations, should be attending school. However, this child is a boy with congenital cerebral palsy, who is completely unable to take care of himself—neither eating, drinking, nor using the restroom independently. He cannot even answer questions or eat dinner by himself, and he also cannot walk. It is a great concern as to how to assist him: Can a nine-year-old boy with congenital cerebral palsy be cured?Doctor's answer:
Can a congenital cerebral palsy boy be saved? Cerebral palsy is primarily caused by dysfunction of brain activity. Based on the principle that abnormal motor postures can be repaired, we implement treatment using various biomechanical methods. The purpose of functional training is to enhance muscle strength, eliminate pathological reflexes, and fully restore social adaptability. It is an indispensable key measure for stabilizing treatment effects and reducing recurrence. In Western countries, functional training is the main approach used to treat cerebral palsy.
