Patient's question:
My friend's child has cerebral palsy, it's very serious, they cannot walk on their own, how should the treatment be?Doctor's answer:
Children's brain injuries are static, but the neurological defects they cause will not be permanently eliminated. If appropriate treatment is not provided in a timely manner, abnormal posture and movement patterns will be corrected, while muscle contractions, skeletal and joint deformities may occur, and intellectual disabilities may worsen. The brain tissue of infants and young children has great plasticity and strong compensatory ability. If appropriate rehabilitation measures are taken, the best results can be achieved. The limbs of the body should be kept in a functional state during deep squats, and passive or active movements should be performed to promote muscle and joint mobility and improve muscle tone. Cerebral palsy typically refers to central motor disorders caused by non-progressive brain damage or abnormal brain development due to various reasons from birth to one month after birth. Scientific and targeted treatment should be used in a timely manner.
