Patient's question:
The child from my relative's family has been experiencing muscle stiffness in their body recently, but they still cannot walk. Additionally, their legs have been straightened for a long time. They were taken to the hospital for examination, and the doctor said they have cerebral palsy. What are the best methods for treating cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy, usually refers to central motor disorders caused by non-progressive brain damage or brain developmental abnormalities due to various reasons from birth to one month after birth. Clinically, it manifests as abnormal posture and muscle tone, muscle weakness, involuntary movements, and ataxia. It is often accompanied by sensory, cognitive, communication, behavioral disorders, and secondary skeletal muscle abnormalities, and may also have seizures.Suggestions: It is not possible to completely cure this cerebral palsy, but it can be brought close to normal levels. Due to the limitations of medical technology, medication can only be used as adjuvant therapy. Comprehensive treatments such as rehabilitation training and massage are very important. Treatment is essential.
