Question
What are the symptoms of cerebral palsy in children?
Answer
Cerebral palsy is a disorder that leads to developmental impairments in movement and posture. Although not everyone in daily life has encountered cerebral palsy patients, images of pediatric cerebral palsy can often be seen on television. Cerebral palsy patients typically exhibit increased extensor tone in the upper limbs, with fingers curled into a clenched fist. In the lower limbs, there is also increased adductor tone in the thighs, and the ankles will flex. Due to damage to the cerebellum, patients will sway when walking and their limb movements will not be coordinated. For the treatment of pediatric cerebral palsy, rehabilitation training can be used to improve limb function. Specific upper limb rehabilitation training includes exercises for shoulder joint up and down movement, which can be helped by applying honghua oil or active oil to aid in the recovery training.
