Patient's question:
ABR check is basically normal, and PT rehabilitation treatment is currently being carried out in the local hospital. Are there better treatment measures for ankle clonus? What is the worst outcome caused by ankle clonus for the baby? I sincerely hope for an explanation. Thank you very much!!!Doctor's answer:
Ankle clonus often occurs in the early stage of spastic paralysis. The disease is classified as either cerebral or spinal, congenital or acquired, as well as late-onset. The condition is very serious and requires brain and spinal cord MRI and genetic testing to determine the nature of the disease for targeted treatment. Note: Some cases of this disease can be treated, some can be controlled, and some are very difficult to control. Due to the baby's underdeveloped nervous system, normal physiological manifestations of the nervous system may occur: such as nystagmus in the first few months after birth, hyperactive knee reflexes, and sometimes ankle clonus. As the child grows older, these symptoms will gradually improve.
