Patient's question:
My neighbor's child has been experiencing muscle stiffness recently. After we noticed him struggling, he had difficulty eating. The doctor diagnosed the child with cerebral palsy. What methods are effective for treating cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Premature infants have immature internal organs, poor immune function, low vitality, and are extremely fragile, making them a highly vulnerable group. Experts both domestically and internationally also believe that there are many causes of death in low birth weight infants, primarily intraventricular hemorrhage and pulmonary hyaline membrane disease. Those who survive are often accompanied by neurological developmental defects or intellectual disabilities. On the other hand, large for gestational age infants should also be prevented, as their main risks are dystocia and asphyxia, which can similarly damage the central nervous system and lead to cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy symptoms are easily noticeable, as the behavior of patients differs significantly from that of the general population. For example, the child may suddenly become stiff: it may be difficult to dress them in certain positions, such as when lying on their back, bending their body, or hugging them.
