Patient's question:
My child has cerebral palsy, slow reactions, soft limbs, and cannot lift his head. He cannot walk now, has scissor gait, cannot speak, and has poor intelligence. I heard that rehabilitation therapy is helpful, but our family's economy does not allow us to go to the hospital. Can I do rehabilitation training at home? How is cerebral palsy done? What are the symptoms of cerebral palsy in children?Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy is also known as cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is a syndrome characterized by motor and postural disorders caused by brain damage or injury at birth or within one month after birth. It is often accompanied by epilepsy, intellectual disability, and other language disorders. It is essentially synonymous with pediatric cerebral palsy. The lesion often damages the pyramidal and extrapyramidal systems. This disease is directly related to traumatic and hemorrhagic infections of the brain (e.g., herpes zoster or early pregnancy). Toxoplasmosis, severe infection in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, severe pregnancy hypertension, pathological dystocia, and other factors can cause cerebral palsy in newborns. The treatment of cerebral palsy is a long-term process, during which the child needs the care and attention of the family.
