Patient's question:
Due to work reasons, I have been married for several years without having children. Last year, I gave birth to a child. Since the child was born, he has always been very healthy. A few days ago, when I took my son to the hospital for a physical examination, the doctor said that my son suffers from cerebral palsy. I would like to learn about the methods of treating cerebral palsy infants. Can cerebral palsy infants be cured?Doctor's answer:
The manifestations of cerebral palsy can be divided into several types. 1. The spastic type primarily manifests as stiffness in the limbs. 2. Involuntary movements of the limbs and head, as well as involuntary movements during purposeful movements. For example, the appearance of "brown eyebrows" on the face. Difficulty in speaking and swallowing, and frequent drooling. 3. The ataxic type is characterized by muscle weakness in the limbs, inability to maintain body balance, unsteady gait, and incomplete fine motor skills, such as at the fingertips and nose. The rehabilitation training methods for children with cerebral palsy include: Prone position: Training is conducted on wedge pads and training beds. This can promote head lifting and induce hand support. Sitting at the end of the legs. The trainer kneels behind the child and holds the child's chin with one hand, applying slight pressure above the child's head to enhance the stability of the head and neck.
