Patient's question:
My sister's child, he started receiving treatment at a special education school at the age of four and has been doing so to this day, but the results have not been very good. At that time, the doctor said there was no treatment available, and it could only be guided artificially. During this period, he received injections of cerebrolysin along with artificial guidance education. What should I do if I have infantile cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
In clinical practice, the common symptoms of cerebral palsy in children are primarily manifested as delayed motor development. Children with cerebral palsy exhibit varying degrees of delayed motor development, such as lifting the head, sitting independently, crawling, standing, and walking. Fine motor skills, such as grasping objects and finger movements, also lag behind those of normal children.Recommendations: Improving motor function and enhancing self-care abilities can be achieved by increasing joint mobility, adjusting muscle tone, and improving motor control, coordination, strength, and endurance. Common techniques include: postural therapy, soft tissue stretching, muscle tone adjustment techniques, functional active movement reinforcement training, strength and endurance training, balance and coordination control, and physical factor-assisted therapy (physical therapy).
