Patient's question:
A child in a friend's family got a disease. They keep drooling all day and keep laughing, as if there's something wrong with their nerves. The hospital said it's cerebral palsy. Because of this disease, the friend is very troubled. They hope the child's condition can be somewhat alleviated.Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy, generally refers to central motor disorders caused by non-progressive brain damage or abnormal brain development from birth to one month after birth due to various reasons: Therapists should develop home training plans for children and their parents. The program should focus on improving function and preventing secondary damage, but for children with particularly severe conditions, promoting care and reducing the burden on the family should be the primary goal. It typically includes: understanding the child's condition and daily routine; targeted muscle strength and joint movement training; diaphragm stretching treatment; reinforcement training for functional activities; the use of assistive devices such as orthotics, chairs, standing frames, and wheelchairs, etc. The above is advice on how to cope with children with cerebral palsy.
