What is the rehabilitation treatment for children with cerebral palsy

Patient's question:

Boy, 6 years old, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy after a hospital check-up. I'm very worried. Could you please explain: What is pediatric cerebral palsy rehabilitation therapy?

Doctor's answer:

The hazards of cerebral palsy in children are significant, and the recurrence rate is also high. Generally, rehabilitation training is conducted through massage therapy. By persistently massaging the child, the flexibility of limbs such as legs or hands can be restored, helping the child achieve the goal of recovery. Children with cerebral palsy who have language impairments need to undergo speech therapy and comprehensive oral training. If the child cannot walk, the likelihood of them being able to walk in the future is very low. After the release of the adductor tendon, care for the perineum of the patient will be beneficial. It is recommended to seek follow-up treatment at the hospital in a timely manner and not to delay the best time for treatment.
