Do newborns with cerebral palsy have language expression disorders?

Patient's question:

My child, now it's been 3 days, I don't know if there has been swelling in the brain area. I feel that my child has always been unable to speak. Can young children be treated with some medication? Is it necessary to undergo rehabilitation treatment now? How can newborn cerebral palsy cause language disorders?

Doctor's answer:

It typically refers to central motor disorders caused by non-progressive brain damage or various reasons leading to abnormal brain development from birth to one month after birth. Clinically, it is characterized by abnormal posture and muscle tone, muscle weakness, involuntary movements, and ataxia. The goal is to increase joint mobility, regulate muscle tone, improve motor control, coordination, strength, and endurance to enhance motor function and self-care abilities. Common techniques include: postural therapy, soft tissue stretching, muscle tone regulation, functional active movement training, muscle strength and endurance training, balance and coordination control, and physical factor-assisted therapy (physical therapy), among others.
