Patient's question:
A friend of mine has been suffering from cerebral palsy for over a year. To treat the child, my friend also lost their job, and the family is already heavily in debt, but the child's condition has not improved. What are the treatment methods for cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
The term cerebral palsy refers to permanent abnormal motor and postural control, caused by certain injuries or damage to the brain before its growth and development are complete. These postural and motor abnormalities accompany the child's growth, and development is constantly changing. Recommendation: Improve motor function and enhance self-care ability by increasing joint mobility, regulating muscle tone, improving motor control, coordination, strength, and endurance. Common techniques include: postural therapy, soft tissue stretching, muscle tone regulation techniques, and functional activation activity strengthening training.
