How can we help children with cerebral palsy with rehabilitation therapy?

Patient's question:

I recently volunteered at a children's adoption center, where I discovered some children with cerebral palsy. Some of their conditions are not very severe, and I want to help them with rehabilitation treatment and training, but I don't have the knowledge in this area. How can I help children with cerebral palsy with rehabilitation treatment?

Doctor's answer:

In adoption agencies, some children with cerebral palsy are not very serious and need rehabilitation and training. After formal treatment, they are very likely to recover. Hello, you can do the following things:
1. Support standing: Parents support the child's arms from their own arms and gradually reduce the help, allowing them to maintain balance.
2. Learn to walk: The key to cerebral palsy care is to learn to shift the body's center of gravity. From the beginning, pull the hands forward and gradually transition to pulling the hands.
3. Go up and down stairs: Gradually let the child, with the support of adults, use their arms and legs to go up and down stairs.
