Patient's question:
My sister just had a little nephew, but the child has mild cerebral palsy because he ate cold medicine while she was pregnant. However, the family all hopes that the child's future can stabilize, so they are very eager to know good methods for stabilizing treatment of children with cerebral palsy. Which methods are better? Diagnosis and treatment of infant cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy is a syndrome of non-progressive brain damage in children caused by various reasons from before birth to one month after birth. Its causes are complex and diverse. Some are primarily due to prenatal factors in the mother, such as certain intrauterine infections. In addition to intrauterine growth retardation, factors such as trauma during pregnancy and the mother's carrying multiple fetuses can also lead to the recurrence of cerebral palsy. In clinical diagnosis, the goal of treating cerebral palsy is to stabilize the child's various functions to the greatest extent possible, significantly improve the quality of life, and as much as possible, prevent or delay secondary joint deformities and soft tissue scar contractures. Generally, physical therapy is used to enhance joint mobility.
