Patient's question:
My sister already has a boy. She also wanted a daughter. Last year, my sister got pregnant and gave birth to a girl. At the time, the whole family was overjoyed. But as time went by, I felt the child wasn't developing normally. Other children know how to grab things and take steps, but this child doesn't. What are the symptoms of cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Although not everyone in life has seen a person with cerebral palsy, there are images of children with cerebral palsy on TV. The upper limbs of patients usually show increased tone in the flexor muscles. And the fingers are bent in a clenched fist. Clenched in the patient's palm. At the same time. The adductor muscles of the lower limbs of the patient also show increased tone. The ankle joint is flexed. Due to damage to the cerebellum, patients may walk and sway. The movements of the limbs may also be inconsistent. The treatment of pediatric cerebral palsy can be completed through the rehabilitation of limb functions. The back of the hand of a cerebral palsy patient can be done for about 20 minutes daily. The upper limb rehabilitation training for children with cerebral palsy is mainly to make the shoulder joint move up and down. The shoulder joint can be rubbed with safflower oil or active oil.
