Patient's question:
My sister already has a boy, and she wants a daughter too. Last year, my sister got pregnant again and gave birth to a girl, which made the whole family very happy. But as time went by, we noticed that the child wasn't developing normally. Other children can already grab things and take steps, but she can't.What are the symptoms of cerebral palsy?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, although not everyone in life has met a person with cerebral palsy, there are images of children with cerebral palsy on TV. The upper limbs of patients typically show increased tone in the flexor muscles, and the fingers are bent in a clenched fist, held in the patient's palm. At the same time, the adductor muscles of the lower limbs also show increased tone, and the ankle joints are flexed. Due to damage to the cerebellum, patients may walk and sway, and the movements of their limbs may also be inconsistent. The treatment of pediatric cerebral palsy can be completed through the rehabilitation of limb functions, and the back of the hand of a cerebral palsy patient can be massaged for about 20 minutes daily. The upper limb rehabilitation training for children with cerebral palsy is mainly to enable the shoulder joint to move up and down. The shoulder joint can be rubbed with safflower oil or active oil.
