Patient's question:
My good friend's baby is already 3 years old. Unfortunately, the child suffers from cerebral palsy. After being diagnosed, we have tried many treatment methods, but none of them have been effective. The child has taken a lot of Western and Chinese medicine, and I want to know what issues should be paid attention to. What should be noted for children with cerebral palsy, and how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
Classification features of children's cerebral palsy: Ataxic type: About 20% of cerebral palsy, characterized by primary extrapyramidal system lesions, non-voluntary movements, difficult to control, conscious movements, non-voluntary, uncoordinated and ineffective movements increase. These movements disappear when you sleep. Most muscles have reduced tone, weak head, difficulty eating, and the tongue often sticks out of the mouth and wanders. After 1 year, the movements of hands and feet gradually become noticeable. Due to the pain in the oral muscles, language is very difficult. When speaking, sentences are unclear, and intonation is also affected. Usually no pyramidal signs, the intelligence development of ataxic cerebral palsy is not severe, and seizures are rare. With the widespread development of perinatal care, this type is rarely seen now.
