Patient's question:
My sister's child was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The child is over 12 months old now, but still cannot sit up. The family is very worried. When they go to the community, they see other children running around, and then they realize it's time to go to the hospital. They only then learn what to do about the cerebral palsy.Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy (CP) can damage the brain due to certain reasons. Although the lesions no longer progress, motor and postural development tends to be abnormal, and may even lead to complications such as intellectual and language impairments. The main manifestations include motor dysfunction, poor self-regulation of limbs, poor balance, language development disorders, intellectual retardation, decreased responsiveness to the outside world, and the inability to communicate with others. I hope my reply helps you.
