Patient's question:
Hello, my grandson, he is five years old this year. He has high muscle strength but lacks balance. Everything else is normal. He was born prematurely. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, the child is a premature baby and has high muscle strength and tone in all four limbs. Was this present from birth, or was it discovered recently? If the muscle tone was high from birth and the baby is premature, it could be possible that the child has cerebral palsy. We advise you not to worry too much and to promptly seek a detailed medical examination at the hospital. If it is confirmed that the child has cerebral palsy, we recommend seeking systematic rehabilitation treatment at a specialized rehabilitation hospital.
