Patient's question:
The child of my sister has just been born in the recent period. After the child was born, some particularly bad situations have gradually started to appear. The child has been frequently experiencing stiffness all over the body and also often feels extremely soft all over. The doctor has initially judged that it might be cerebral palsy. What are the symptoms of cerebral palsy in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy, also known as CP, typically refers to a group of non-progressive motor disorders caused by abnormal brain development or damage that occurs from birth to one month after birth due to various reasons: clinical postural and muscle tone abnormalities, muscle weakness, involuntary movements, and ataxia are often characterized by sensory, cognitive, communication, behavioral disorders, secondary skeletal muscle abnormalities, and epilepsy. Non-progressive central motor disorders caused by various reasons after one month of birth are sometimes referred to as acquired cerebral palsy.
