What are the treatment methods for pediatric cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

The baby is three years old, and the body is very thin. It doesn't hear what others say very clearly. It often looks tired and weak, and its speech is unclear. Its walking posture is very strange. After checking at the hospital, it was diagnosed with cerebral palsy.

Doctor's answer:

Physical therapy is a widely effective method, mainly including gross motor, fine motor, balance, and coordination exercises. Activities can include crawling, nose identification, exercise, grasping, shaking, and wall walking. Children may also bend down to pick up objects, lift their feet, stand on one leg, or jump into position. Physical methods can also be used to treat children with cerebral palsy. Physical therapy mainly includes neuromuscular stimulation therapy, thermotherapy, and hydrotherapy. Children can also receive occupational therapy and be trained.
