Question
How should spastic cerebellar ataxia caused by preterm birth, which manifests as foot inversion, curved legs during walking, and unstable posture, be treated?
Answer
Spastic cerebellar ataxia typically refers to a non-progressive central motor disorder caused by various reasons leading to brain damage or developmental abnormalities within one month before or after birth. Treating cerebral palsy is a long-term process, during which the child most needs the care and love from their family. It is recommended to combine medication treatment with physical therapy, which is also beneficial for the child’s future intellectual development.
