Patient's question:
17 years old, female, childhood cerebral palsy, mild symptoms. Main symptoms: unclear speech, inward turning gait, thumb adduction of the left hand. No intellectual problems.Doctor's answer:
Problem Analysis: The common clinical symptoms of cerebral palsy are primarily related to its development. Cerebral palsy exhibits varying degrees of motor development delays, such as slower progression in lifting the head, sitting, climbing, standing, walking, and other large motor skills compared to normal children. Grasping objects and fine motor movements of the fingers also lag behind those of normal children. The traditional treatment methods for cerebral palsy include the following points: 1. Medication therapy, including drugs that promote cerebral blood circulation, drugs that improve intelligence, and drugs that control related complications; 2. Rehabilitation therapy, including exercises for language function, exercises for walking function, or hyperbaric oxygen; 3. Some cases require surgical treatment, such as spastic paralysis causing conditions like foot inversion, which may need surgical release therapy.
