Patient's question:
My brother-in-law's wife had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to her daughter. She originally planned for a natural birth, but due to complications, she had to choose a cesarean section. It's possible that the child was deprived of oxygen in her mother's womb for too long. Shortly after birth, it was discovered that the child was different from other children and was developing slowly. Now she is 3 years old and cannot walk yet.Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy, usually refers to central motor disorders caused by non-progressive brain damage or brain developmental abnormalities due to various reasons from birth to one month after birth. The treatment plan should aim to maximize the child's function and improve quality of life, minimize secondary joint deformities and soft tissue contractures, and delay or avoid surgery as much as possible. The specific treatment plan should be decided by rehabilitation doctors, therapists, and orthopedic doctors.
