Patient's question:
ABR check is basically normal, and PT rehabilitation treatment is currently being carried out in the local hospital. Are there better treatment measures for ankle clonus? What is the worst outcome caused by ankle clonus for the baby? I sincerely hope for an explanation. Thank you very much!!!Doctor's answer:
Ankle clonus often occurs in the early stage of spastic paralysis. The disease is classified as either cerebral or spinal. It can be congenital, acquired, or delayed. The condition is very severe. Brain and spinal MRI, as well as genetic testing, are necessary to diagnose the condition and provide targeted treatment.Note: Some cases of this disease can be cured, some can be controlled, and some are very difficult to control. Since the baby's nervous system has not yet fully developed, normal physiological manifestations of the nervous system may occur: such as nystagmus or hyperactive knee reflexes in the first few months after birth, and sometimes ankle clonus. As the child grows older, these symptoms will gradually improve.
