Patient's question:
The son has congenital cerebral palsy. When he was just born, there were no particularly strange symptoms, but it was after he was a month old that we gradually noticed differences compared to children of the same age. He has a slight tilt and always drools, and his speech is unclear. Now that the child has grown up, he cannot go to school and has been undergoing treatment.Doctor's answer:
Inhibiting sputum, preventing contracture and deformation of limbs, such as equinus deformity, and maintaining postoperative correction. The role of orthosis in inhibiting sputum is one of the important means of rehabilitation treatment. Treatment effects, improved immobilization exercises, improved function, and enhanced compensatory and supplementary loss of function. The use of orthoses in children with cerebral palsy aims to improve functional disorders. Therefore, orthoses are used more frequently in the short term, while those used for long-term use to improve abilities are less common. This is different from the use of orthoses in adults.
