Patient's question:
My cousin gave birth to this child when she was 32, but she was diagnosed with a brain-damaged child during her pregnancy. However, she was afraid of not being able to have more children in the future, so she decided to have the baby anyway. At about three months, the child is still very soft and floppy. The doctor conducted an examination and said the child has cerebral palsy. How should we take care of a child with cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
The brain lesions in children with cerebral palsy are static, but the resulting neurological deficits cannot be permanently repaired. If you do not receive proper treatment guidance in the early stage: abnormal postures and movement patterns will be corrected, and it may also cause muscle contractures, skeletal and joint deformities, thereby increasing intellectual disabilities. Infants and young children have excellent plasticity and compensatory abilities. If appropriate rehabilitation measures are taken, the best results will be achieved.
