Patient's question:
When the child was born, a forceps delivery was performed, which resulted in intracranial hemorrhage. Later, it was found that there was hydrocephalus in the brain. Currently, the child cannot speak or walk. I would like to ask if there are any rehabilitation training methods that can provide me with some rehabilitation training materials?Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy usually occurs before birth or during infancy. The causes include: birth injuries, neonatal jaundice, brain hypoxia; premature birth, etc. The main symptoms are increased muscle tone, difficulty in abduction, and in severe cases, muscle rigidity, contractures, and joint flexion. In mild cases, there may be poor fine motor skills in the hands, and the heels cannot touch the ground when walking. These patients often have language development and dysarthria, as well as strabismus. About one-third of patients have varying degrees of seizures and intellectual disabilities. Cerebral palsy can cause delayed motor development. If the baby is still inactive and does not move much after 3 months of birth, and there are no crawling movements of hands and feet when lying prone; if the baby's hands are still tense and clenched after 4-6 months of birth. Such as hurried gait, scissor gait, etc.
