Question
Hello, I would like to ask about the treatment for pediatric cerebral palsy. Where can I find high-quality treatment methods?
Answer
Cerebral palsy, commonly referred to as CP, is a non-progressive central nervous system movement disorder caused by various reasons leading to brain damage or developmental abnormalities before birth or within the first month after birth. Clinically, it is characterized by abnormal posture and muscle tone, muscle weakness, involuntary movements, and ataxia, often accompanied by sensory, cognitive, communication, and behavioral impairments, as well as secondary skeletal muscle abnormalities. After one month of birth, treatment methods for non-progressive central nervous system movement disorders caused by various reasons are diverse, including but not limited to physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, medication treatment, and surgical treatment. It is recommended to seek professional medical advice from specialists.
