Patient's question:
My baby was diagnosed with cerebral palsy from birth. Since the onset of the condition, he has been undergoing treatment, but after a long time, he has not been cured. I am worried about the impact it will have on his future. He cannot stand and his whole body is soft. If the later training is not good, the condition will worsen as he grows older. Now he cannot walk. Which hospital is good for treating pediatric cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of cerebral palsy are primarily due to increased muscle tone and difficulty with joint mobility. In severe cases, muscle stiffness, spasms, and joint contractures can be observed. In milder cases, slight weakness in hand movements and inability to touch the ground with the heels while walking may be seen. These patients often accompany language development, dysarthria, and strabismus, with about one-third of patients experiencing varying degrees of seizures and intellectual disability. The goal for cerebral palsy children is to maximize their functional abilities and improve their quality of life, while minimizing secondary joint deformities and soft tissue contractures as much as possible, and delaying or avoiding surgery. If you want to completely cure it, there will be certain difficulties, but you can improve your child's quality of life in later stages.
