Patient's question:
My nephew has cerebral palsy and suffered from postoperative complications. He experiences seizures, which are usually controlled with medication. However, he tends to have episodes when he goes to school. Why?Doctor's answer:
Poor sucking and swallowing. The tongue often pushes milk and food out. Difficulty closing the mouth. Abnormal behaviors: May be overly crying, easily irritable, poor sleep, or extremely quiet, sleeping too much, or not smiling at 3 months.Massage therapy can help children with cerebral palsy relax spastic muscles, assist with joint mobility, improve limb and joint deformities, correct abnormal postures, and promote the development of normal motor functions. For children with cerebral palsy who are bedridden long-term, massage can enhance muscle nutrition.
Cerebral palsy rehabilitation training includes understanding the child's condition and arranging daily routines; strengthening functional active exercises; using assistive devices such as orthotics, chairs, standing frames, and wheelchairs, etc.
