Question
Can newborns with athetoid cerebral palsy drink milk?
Answer
The treatment of athetoid cerebral palsy should follow scientific principles that combine rehabilitation and surgery. We recommend gentle stimulation and contact, while reducing tense conditioned reflexes. At the same time, strengthening control of the midline position, correcting abnormal posture, preventing pathological reflexes, and establishing new conditioned reflexes to coordinate motor functions. During the treatment process, it is also possible to gradually guide the baby to walk before proceeding with deformity correction.
