What are the diagnostic methods for pediatric cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

My younger brother had a child. But I noticed that the child's eyes looked vacant. He didn't show much expression. I tried moving toys in front of his eyes, but his eyes didn't follow the toys. When I asked him to grab something, he didn't have the strength to lift it. He also cried and fussed a lot. He's already four years old. At this age, he still can't talk or walk.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! The symptoms of cerebral palsy in children are typically as follows:
Children have difficulty feeding after birth. Such as weak sucking ability. Difficulty swallowing. Poor oral intake. Children often cry less. Less movement. Faint crying and being too quiet. Or crying. Irritability. Easy to startle or repetitive light tapping; Incoordination of movement. Asymmetric movement and random movement; Abnormal muscle tone. Abnormal posture and movement patterns.
The key to treating cerebral palsy in children is early detection and early treatment. Pediatric cerebral palsy is mainly caused by brain neuron damage and death due to hypoxia and ischemia before and after birth. Therefore. The treatment of cerebral palsy is mainly to repair and regenerate brain neuron cells. To fundamentally treat cerebral palsy. Rehabilitation training and drug therapy cannot repair damaged cells. Therefore. stem cell transplantation can only repair damaged neuron cells. Thus fundamentally treating cerebral palsy.
