What should be done about childhood cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

The child's reaction is much slower than that of his peers. Sometimes it takes him a long time to respond when I talk to him, and he just laughs foolishly, "haha." My friend saw this and said, "Could he have cerebral palsy?" I had a sudden jolt of fear. The child I carried for nine months and gave birth to—what should I do if he really has cerebral palsy? What kind of help do I need: What should I do if the child has cerebral palsy?

Doctor's answer:

Called cerebral palsy, it typically refers to central motor disorders caused by non-progressive brain damage or abnormal brain development from various causes from birth to one month after birth. Clinically, it is characterized by abnormal posture 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. Non-progressive central motor disorders caused by various reasons after one month of birth are sometimes also called acquired cerebral palsy. Guidance: Improve motor function and enhance self-care ability by increasing joint mobility, adjusting muscle tone, improving motor control, coordination, strength, and endurance.
