Patient's question:
My friend's child is now 1.5 years old and still cannot speak or walk. When I visit their house to play with him, he shows no expression at all. I suspect he might have cerebral palsy. I want to ask, what are the symptoms of pediatric cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
The main lesions are concentrated in the extrapyramidal system, typically "" involuntary movements of the limbs, head, and face or muscles throughout the body. It worsens when you are tense and excited. When you are calm, it becomes more pronounced. The main manifestation is increased muscle tone, particularly increased tone in flexor muscles. The adductor muscle groups of the lower limbs are especially important. Children have difficulty with abduction of the thighs, difficulty straightening bent knees, and calf muscle contractions. When standing, both lower limbs are straight, adducted, and internally rotated, with legs appearing scissor-like. The above is advice on the "symptoms of cerebral palsy in children," hoping it helps you. Wishing you good health!
