Patient's question:
My child was born with cerebral palsy, and their speech is very unclear. It seems like their body lacks strength, and they are very thin. They cannot hear well. Some people say my son is a fool, and his walking posture is not very good. When he sleeps, his arms move on their own. Does brain damage cause cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Just as children in infancy develop, children with cerebral palsy also develop, but their development occurs on the basis of abnormal central nervous system. Mental effort or mental tension can lead to involuntary movements. In some types, the clinical manifestations often become clear after the age of 29, and joint contractures or deformities often occur during the transitional period from childhood to adulthood. Cerebral palsy symptoms are easily noticeable, as the patient's behavior in daily life is very different from that of normal people. For example, the child may suddenly become stiff: it may be difficult to dress the child in certain positions, such as when lying on their back, bending their body, or hugging them. Flaccid: the baby's head and neck are flaccid and cannot be lifted. When holding the baby in the air, their limbs hang down. The baby rarely moves.
