Patient's question:
Now, if I let go, how many steps can I take? But overall, there's not much progress. My child hasn't been doing rehabilitation exercises. Is exercise more beneficial for rehabilitation or is medication slightly more beneficial?Doctor's answer:
Hello, cerebral palsy usually occurs before birth or in infancy. The causes include: birth injuries, neonatal jaundice, brain hypoxia; premature birth, etc. The main symptoms are increased muscle tone, difficulty with abduction, and in severe cases, muscle rigidity, contractures, and joint flexion. In mild cases, fine motor skills in the hands are poor, and the heels cannot touch the ground when walking. These patients often have language development and speech disorders, as well as strabismus. About one-third of patients have varying degrees of seizures and intellectual disabilities. Cerebral palsy can cause delayed motor development. If the baby is still inactive and does not move much after 3 months of birth, and there are no crawling movements of hands and feet when prone; the hands remain tense after 4-6 months of birth. Shuffling gait, scissor gait, etc.
