Patient's question:
These days, I've been feeling really uncomfortable. In short, it's been tough. This has scared everyone. My colleague's child, who is almost two years old, can't stand properly, let alone walk. After checking into the hospital, they were diagnosed with cerebral palsy. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, congenital cerebral palsy in children refers to a group of disorders caused by non-progressive brain damage or malformation that occurs before, during, or within the first month after birth, due to the brain not having fully developed. This results in motor and postural abnormalities.Suggestions: First, the family should face the problem squarely. If possible, the child should be sent to a formal rehabilitation center for comprehensive training. Common methods include: physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and recreational therapy, among others.
