Patient's question:
The child is 7 and a half years old. Their behavior and mannerisms are clearly more childish than those of their peers. They have difficulty concentrating in class and are slow to react. Their motor coordination is poor, and their lower limbs are stiff (the doctor said so). They struggle with the physical exercises broadcast during class and have been deprived of the right to do the exercises during recess.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, cerebral palsy is a syndrome caused by non-progressive brain damage and developmental defects from conception to infancy, primarily characterized by motor disorders and abnormal postures. It is often accompanied by intellectual disabilities, epilepsy, perceptual and sensory impairments, communication disorders, behavioral abnormalities, and other anomalies. Active treatment is generally recommended during early childhood, as the effectiveness decreases with age. It is advised that parents focus on rehabilitation training for the patient, which may yield some positive outcomes.
