Patient's question:
My son's cerebral palsy has made me so anxious. I can't hear others very clearly. The doctor said my child has ataxia and is very weak, lacking any strength, as if there's not much sensation in his body.Doctor's answer:
Children with cerebral palsy often have reduced motor activity during infancy, poor sucking ability, and weak feeding reflexes. Normal 6-month-old children frequently exhibit kicking and pedaling movements while in a supine position and often engage in alternating play. In contrast, children with cerebral palsy show significantly reduced kicking movements and rarely perform alternating movements. Most children with cerebral palsy may also have varying degrees of language impairments.Recommendations: The child's motor skills have not improved, and their posture is abnormal. Orthopedic surgery can typically correct the current deformities and prevent further deterioration of limb deformities. This requires parents to invest more patience and love to help their children recover, encourage more physical activity, and foster their interests, which is highly beneficial for the development of their intelligence.
