Patient's question:
These days, I've been feeling really uncomfortable. Basically, it's just uncomfortable. This has scared everyone. My colleague has a child who is almost two years old and cannot stand properly, let alone walk. After going to the hospital for a check-up, he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. My colleague is very heartbroken. To treat his son, he is now considering quitting his job.Doctor's answer:
Hello, patients often do not show obvious symptoms until after 3 months, characterized by decreased movement in the affected limb, persistent clenched fist, absent grasp reflex, forearm in a flexed and pronated position, and circling gait, among other symptoms. In some patients, the affected limb may initially present with hypotonia before progressing to spasticity. This type is often accompanied by intellectual disability and epilepsy. Improving motor function and enhancing self-care abilities can be achieved by increasing joint mobility, adjusting muscle tone, and improving motor control, coordination, strength, and endurance. Common techniques include: positional therapy, soft tissue stretching, muscle tone adjustment techniques, and functional active movement reinforcement training.
