Patient's question:
Can infant hypoxia cause cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Hello typically refers to central motor disorders caused by non-progressive brain damage or brain developmental abnormalities from various causes before and within one month after birth. Clinically, it is characterized by abnormal posture and muscle tone, muscle weakness, involuntary movements, and ataxia. It is often accompanied by sensory, cognitive, communication, behavioral disorders, and secondary skeletal muscle abnormalities, and may also involve seizures.To improve motor function and enhance self-care abilities, joint mobility is increased to adjust muscle tone, thereby improving motor control, coordination, strength, and endurance. Common techniques include: postural therapy, soft tissue stretching, muscle tone adjustment techniques, functional active movement strengthening training, strength and endurance training, balance and coordination control, and physical factor-assisted therapy (physical therapy), among others.
