Patient's question:
The child is already 5 years old this year and can only say some simple words. It is questioned that he has cerebral palsy and cannot walk. Is this the case for children with cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of children with cerebral palsy include the inability to walk. Children with cerebral palsy often exhibit intellectual deficits, as well as language impairments, and may also show shortcomings in social interaction. Compared to their peers, it is easy to identify them, such as limited vocabulary, expressionless faces, the inability to sit, difficulty moving around, and abnormal walking posture. There are many treatment methods for this condition, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach must be tailored accordingly. Therefore, it is essential for patients to seek professional evaluation as soon as possible for a detailed examination so that the appropriate treatment can be administered.
