How is psychological therapy conducted for children with cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

At the age of 7, can children with cerebral palsy undergo psychological therapy in addition to conventional treatment? Is it helpful for this disease? Are there any other folk remedies available?

Doctor's answer:

The incidence of cerebral palsy is mostly before or during infancy. The reasons include: congenital injuries, neonatal gallbladder nucleus, brain hypoxia; premature birth. The main symptoms are increased muscle tone and difficulty in being bound. In severe cases, muscle stiffness, spasms, and joint retention of flexion posture can be observed. In milder cases, slight hand movements and inability to touch the ground with the heels while walking can be seen. These patients often have associated language development, dysarthria, and strabismus. About one-third of the patients have varying degrees of convulsions and intellectual disability. Cerebral palsy can cause delayed motor development. For children with cerebral palsy, it is important to avoid the formation of poor posture and limb deformities: if the child with cerebral palsy is in infancy, these "abnormalities" will be corrected through early treatment.
