Question
If a child shows symptoms of cerebral palsy, such as the left hand not being agile, using only the right hand to pick up items, the left hand can be lifted but both hands can play with each other, and the left foot in the walker toeing and dragging, does this mean there is a developmental issue with the left side of the nervous system or a problem with being a left-handed person? How should it be handled?
Answer
Hello, cerebral palsy is an unfortunate condition, but symptoms can be improved through rehabilitation therapy. There is no known cure for cerebral palsy globally, but through language, cognitive, and motor training, patients’ symptoms can be improved. Early treatment is particularly important for children with cerebral palsy, as the likelihood of improvement decreases with age. While undergoing treatment, family rehabilitation training is also crucial; it is recommended that you understand specific rehabilitation training methods. Additionally, it is suggested to take the child for professional examination to determine the best treatment plan.
