Question
My daughter is 5 years old and can’t walk or talk. After consulting, I was told she might have cerebral palsy. Is the hospital equipped to treat children with cerebral palsy?
Answer
Cerebral palsy refers to permanent limb posture and movement abnormalities caused by certain injuries before brain development. These abnormalities persist as the child grows. Treatment for pediatric cerebral palsy requires comprehensive methods, combining medication, nutrition, and long-term rehabilitation training to improve the patient’s compensatory function. Some children with mild conditions may recover completely with active treatment. Timely rehabilitation treatment in the hospital can maximize the reduction of symptoms in children, improving self-care and intellectual abilities.
