Patient's question:
My friend's child has outward-turning feet when walking, strabismus, a hurdle-like posture in their hands, a crooked mouth, and drooling. They have undergone treatment, but it hasn't been effective. I want to know how cerebral palsy in children is generally treated.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if a baby's muscles remain stiff after birth, especially when stimulated or crying, it can be difficult to notice. For example, in cases of cerebral palsy, in addition to abnormal muscle tone, cerebral palsy often presents with abnormal movements or postures, such as the upper limbs being fixed in a flexed state or the lower limbs being fixed in an extended state, body twisting, upper limb rotation, and so on.Advice: Hello, high muscle tone is generally a symptom of upper motor neuron damage. Treatment may vary, so I suggest you have a brain CT scan to identify the cause for targeted treatment. I hope this helps.
