Patient's question:
My son has already had his birthday three times, but he still has poor coordination when walking and often falls. He's different from other children's kids, and now he can't go to kindergarten. We've done many tests at the children's hospital, and the doctor told me that my child has cerebral palsy. Could you please tell me how to do rehabilitation training for children with cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
The common symptoms of cerebral palsy are typically toes pointing downward, standing on the tips of the toes like a ballet dancer, and even some crossing or scissor-like movements. Second, a lack of smiling, lifting the head, clenched fingers, and inability to open them within 2-3 months. Third, not being able to roll over by the fourth or fifth month, not being able to sit by eight months, and even an inability to grasp or reach their hands into their mouths; additionally, intellectual development is also delayed compared to normal children. Fourth, cerebral palsy symptoms may include feeding difficulties, weak sucking, swallowing difficulties, or easily taking in milk and vomiting. Fifth, general weakness, and limbs being either limp or stiff are also symptoms of cerebral palsy. Sixth, the infant's mouth cannot close properly, and they may cry weakly or scream.
