Can children with cerebral palsy be cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Cerebral palsy is abbreviated as CP. It usually refers to central motor disorders caused by various reasons leading to non-progressive brain damage or brain developmental abnormalities from before birth to one month after birth. Clinically, it is characterized by abnormal posture and muscle tone, muscle weakness, involuntary movements, and ataxia. It is often accompanied by sensory, cognitive, communication, behavioral disorders, and secondary skeletal muscle abnormalities. Seizures may also occur. Proper treatment. The outcome of treatment will also be better. The effect of treatment will be slightly worse after this period. Family rehabilitation: Long-term treatment and training for cerebral palsy is a difficult and long process. Inpatient treatment is only short-term. The key is long-term rehabilitation training after discharge.
