Question
My grandson is five years old now, he has high muscle tone and no balance, everything else is normal. He was born prematurely. How should he be treated?
Answer
Based on your description, the child was born prematurely and had higher muscle tone and muscle tension at birth. If accompanied by increased muscle tone and being a premature baby, it may be childhood cerebral palsy. I suggest not to worry too much and go to the hospital for a detailed examination in a timely manner. If diagnosed with cerebral palsy, it is recommended to seek systematic rehabilitation treatment at a rehabilitation specialty hospital.
