Patient's question:
My colleague's son suffers from cerebral palsy. He is several years old and cannot walk or speak. Watching his peers who are healthy, but the results don't seem to be good, they are somewhat discouraged and don't know what to do.Doctor's answer:
Hello, cerebral palsy typically refers to central motor disorders caused by non-progressive brain damage or brain developmental abnormalities from various causes from birth to one month after birth. Clinically, it is characterized by abnormal postures and muscle tone, muscle weakness, involuntary movements, and ataxia. It is often accompanied by sensory, cognitive, communication, behavioral disorders, and secondary skeletal muscle abnormalities, and may also have seizures. To treat cerebral palsy, it is recommended to seek appropriate treatment plans under the guidance and advice of doctors in formal hospitals to treat the child's condition.
