Patient's question:
The child of my sister is a pediatric patient with cerebral palsy. He has a vacant expression, slow movements, and appears well-behaved but is very concerning. This condition is getting worse and worse. The family is facing this situation directly but doesn't know what to do. How should this disease be treated to improve the condition even slightly?Doctor's answer:
When a child is diagnosed with cerebral palsy, parents must bravely face the situation and offer more love and sacrifice than they would for a healthy child. It is crucial to firmly grasp two key areas: functional rehabilitation and education. Functional rehabilitation is the key to improving the condition of children with cerebral palsy, while education is the foundation for their independence. Through scientific, correct, and effective functional rehabilitation training, children with cerebral palsy can maximize the use of their residual functions, reduce their physical, psychological, social, occupational, and economic disabilities, and make the greatest effort to narrow the gap with healthy children. This will enable them to live self-sufficiently, even understand education, and eventually be able to independently undertake training in their areas of expertise.
