Patient's question:
I have a soft and cute daughter. Actually, she can do everything and can express everything. She can let us know what she wants to do, but she never speaks. Her eyes are vacant, and she is always lost in thought. Her vitality is not as lively as other children. I am very sad about her infantile cerebral palsy. Can infantile cerebral palsy heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
The motor disorders in children with cerebral palsy are primarily caused by brain damage, which leads to sustained changes in muscle tone, resulting in abnormal postures and primitive movement patterns dominating their overall activity. This hinders normal voluntary movement. Proper stimulation can inhibit abnormal postures and movement patterns. By utilizing normal spontaneous postural reflexes, balance reflexes, and other adjustments to muscle tone, children can experience normal postural and movement sensations. This helps stabilize the control of abnormal activities, leading to correct movements.
