Question
What are the early signs and symptoms of baby cerebral palsy?
Answer
The early signs and symptoms of baby cerebral palsy typically refer to non-progressive brain damage or brain developmental abnormalities caused by various reasons within a month before or after birth, leading to central nervous system motor disorders. Clinically, it is characterized by abnormal posture and muscle tone, muscle weakness, involuntary movements, and ataxia, often accompanied by sensory, perceptual, communication, and behavioral impairments, as well as secondary skeletal muscle abnormalities. Epileptic seizures may also occur. The principle of treatment is early detection and early intervention, as the infant’s activity system is in the developmental stage, making early treatment more likely to achieve better outcomes. The main focus is on functional training, physical activity training, skill training, with a particular emphasis on the fine motor activities of the upper limbs and hands.
