Patient's question:
The child has been falling a lot and always feels weak, so I took him to the hospital for a check-up. After the examination, the doctor said my child has cerebral palsy. The whole family is very anxious and doesn't know how to treat him.Doctor's answer:
Central motor disorders: characterized by delayed motor development, significantly lagging behind peers of the same age. Parents often only notice the condition when the child struggles with (lifting the head), (turning over), or sitting up. The child's limbs rarely move, especially the lower limbs, often (hemiplegia), (diplegia), or (quadriplegia). Due to difficulties with (autonomous movement), the movements are stiff, uncoordinated, and often exhibit abnormal movement patterns.Recommendations: Active treatment is recommended to minimize the extent of intellectual delays in the child.
