Hello, treating cerebral palsy involves improving motor function and enhancing self-care abilities by increasing joint mobility, adjusting muscle tone, and improving motor control, coordination, strength, and endurance. Common techniques include: postural therapy, soft tissue stretching, muscle tone adjustment techniques, functional active movement reinforcement training, strength and endurance training, balance and coordination control, and physical factor-assisted therapy (physical therapy), etc. After evaluation by physicians and speech therapists, treatment is provided based on different types of speech impairments, such as jaw, lip, tongue muscle, and soft palate movement control training.
