Question
The baby showed some abnormalities from birth, such as weak milk drinking, rarely turning eyes, being expressionless, unable to roll over at 7 or 8 months, slow speech, unclear articulation, slow development, and slightly low intelligence. After a hospital check-up, the doctor said it was cerebral palsy. What methods can be used to treat pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
Cerebral palsy is a systemic disease that primarily uses a comprehensive treatment plan for rehabilitation training. It is recommended to start treatment as early as possible to achieve better results. You can go to the rehabilitation department of the hospital for systematic rehabilitation exercises to achieve comprehensive recovery. Physical therapy includes gross motor skills, fine motor skills, balance and coordination training such as crawling, purposeful identification, grasping, sitting swaying, walking (along the wall, facing the wall),Stay put exercises, and line running. Physical therapy includes neural stimulation therapy, heat therapy, and hydrotherapy. Occupational therapy can help improve the child’s abilities. Additionally, in cities, there are some specialized hospitals or clinics to choose from, but the effectiveness varies depending on the conditions.
