Patient's question:
From a young age, I suffered from congenital cerebral palsy, and my legs couldn't walk, but I could walk while holding onto something, but my heels couldn't touch the ground. I would like to ask if people in my situation can wear insoles with built-in height. It would be even better if there was a way for me to grow taller. Thank you very much!Doctor's answer:
The motor skills of children with cerebral palsy are lower than those of normal children of the same age. They have poor motor self-control. The severity of the disease may only manifest as some stiffness or clumsiness in the hands and feet. In severe cases, the hands cannot grasp objects, and the feet cannot walk. Some individuals may even be unable to roll over, sit up, stand, chew properly, or swallow correctly.Recommendations:
Massage therapy can help relax the muscles of children with cerebral palsy, assist them in joint movements, improve limb and joint deformities, correct abnormal postures, and promote the development of normal motor functions. It is suitable for long-term bedridden children with cerebral palsy to rest and recover. Massage can also enhance muscle nutrition. If recommended, certain necessary rehabilitation training can be considered for this condition.
