Patient's question:
Boy baby, 4 years old, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy after a hospital check-up. I'm very worried. Could you please ask: How is pediatric cerebral palsy treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to seek follow-up treatment at the nearest Grade A hospital. It is essential to act promptly and not delay. The principle of treatment is early detection and early intervention. The infant's motor system is in the developmental stage, and early treatment is more likely to yield better results. The main focus is on functional training, physical activity training, and skill training, with a particular emphasis on upper limb and fine motor skills of the hands to significantly improve the patient's daily living skills. Language training is also included, encompassing the coordinated correction of hearing, pronunciation, language, and chewing and swallowing functions.
