Question

Hello, my niece was born not long ago, and her responses are slow. Sometimes her eyes look dazed, and she seems to have little awareness. She often feels that the baby is always slow to respond, with stiff limbs, a vacant gaze, and a dislike for playing with other babies. It’s possible that the baby’s brain was damaged at birth. How should baby brain palsy be treated?

Answer

During the hospital stay for children with brain palsy, mothers should learn family rehabilitation techniques under the guidance of professional doctors. If the child has epilepsy, speech disorders, or behavioral abnormalities, they should also learn corresponding family training methods and special education techniques under the guidance of professional doctors. This is also a preventive measure for children with brain palsy. Clinical practice shows that brain palsy is still relatively common. Guidance and training in hand grasp movements for children with brain palsy can help guide the normal activity of the child’s hands, allowing them to perform various fine motor actions as normal children do. This condition cannot be cured effectively, but if treated through rehabilitation, it can alleviate the child’s sequelae.
