Patient's question:
I heard from a colleague that a child of one of his friends has cerebral palsy. I want to know what are the symptoms of cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Early diagnosis of cerebral palsy generally refers to the diagnosis of cerebral palsy within the period of 0 to 6 months or 0 to 9 months after birth, with the diagnosis between 0 to 7 months referred to as ultra-early diagnosis. Children with cerebral palsy have lower motor abilities compared to their peers of the same age and exhibit poor motor self-control. In mild cases, the movements of their hands and feet may appear slightly clumsy or uncoordinated. In severe cases, they may be unable to grasp objects with both hands, walk with both feet, roll over, sit up, stand, chew normally, or swallow properly. For the rehabilitation training of children with cerebral palsy, attention should be paid to symmetry between the left and right sides.
