What should be done if a child with cerebral palsy walks unsteadily?

Patient's question:

Cerebral palsy in children, unsteady walking, feet flat when walking slowly, toes up when running, and also inversion of the foot, now six years old

Doctor's answer:

Manual therapy can help children with cerebral palsy relax spastic muscles, assist in joint mobility, improve limb and joint deformities, correct abnormal postures, and promote the development of normal motor functions. For children with cerebral palsy who have been bedridden for a long time, manual therapy can enhance muscle nutrition.
It is recommended that, since the condition has already been diagnosed, active treatment, regulation, and rehabilitation training should be provided. Moreover, the earlier formal treatment and rehabilitation training are initiated, the better the outcomes will be. However, since recovery and treatment are long-term processes, patience is essential, along with enhanced nursing care.
As for hospitals, it is advisable to seek treatment at a provincial hospital in your local area.
