Patient's question:
The child of my sister has congenital cerebral palsy, showing abnormal walking ability. Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
This symptom cannot be ruled out as ataxic cerebral palsy. The main lesions are located in the visual system and cerebellum, characterized by involuntary, rhythmic shaking of a part of the body within a plane. The symptoms of ataxic cerebral palsy are primarily static tremors, large and rhythmic, with temporary inhibition of conscious movement, commonly seen in the upper limbs. Sometimes, there may be kinetic tremors, increased movement, and nystagmus. Simple ataxic cerebral palsy is rarely seen and is more common in other types. Cerebral palsy is common in three treatment methods. First, rehabilitation therapy is necessary to correct motor disorders and abnormal postures, restore normal motor development, and employ measures such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and surgical treatment for correction and training. Second, drug therapy, where medications also play an auxiliary role in treatment.
