Patient's question:
My child is currently undergoing rehabilitation for cerebral palsy. Due to long-term difficulty lifting their head, the entire child lacks strength now. I feel that the rehabilitation has improved a bit. I heard that there are specific techniques for holding cerebral palsy children. What is the correct way to hold a cerebral palsy child?Doctor's answer:
Infants and young children who cannot sit, stand, or walk alone are often held by their mothers. If the posture of the hug is incorrect, abnormal postures will be enhanced, which will hinder the formation of normal postures. The following introduces several correct methods and precautions for cerebral palsy children. Parents should not hold their children for too long each time to allow more time for movement training. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination to confirm and treat the disease.
