Patient's question:
The child is 11 years old. About one year after birth, it was discovered that the child could not hold things with the left hand. The child was taken to the county hospital for examination. After the doctor's diagnosis, a CT scan was performed, revealing cerebral palsy in the child. Now, when walking, the left heel does not touch the ground. Occasionally, there are intermittent seizures. Can the doctor treat this?Doctor's answer:
The postures of children with cerebral palsy are variously abnormal. Many children with cerebral palsy sway side to side when walking, like little ducks. This gait is referred to as "swaying gait." For children with cerebral palsy, varying degrees of brain damage lead to limb paralysis. The postures of children with cerebral palsy are variously abnormal.
