Question
My child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, showing symptoms such as slow response, weak limbs, inability to lift the head, unable to walk, scissor gait, cannot speak, and poor intelligence. I’ve heard that rehabilitation therapy is helpful, but our family budget is limited. I want to know if it’s possible to do rehabilitation training at home and how to go about it.
Answer
Cerebral palsy, also known as brain palsy, is a syndrome caused by brain damage at birth or within one month after birth. It is characterized by motor and posture impairments, accompanied by intellectual disability and other language disorders. The cause may be directly related to traumatic and hemorrhagic infections of the brain, such as herpes zoster and toxoplasmosis. Treatment is a long-term process, and the family needs to provide care and affection for the child during this time.
