Question
A friend’s child was born after a fall on the ground, resulting in asphyxia, hypoxia, and cerebral hemorrhage. The child’s language and intelligence are behind that of their peers, and they have a touch of autism. They were diagnosed with pediatric cerebral palsy over three years old in a hospital, but there was no significant improvement. What should be done for pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
The symptoms of pediatric cerebral palsy include reduced movement on the affected side, persistent clenched fists, persistent grasp reflexes, forearm in a flexion forward rotation state, and a circular gait. Some patients may initially present with hypotonia, which later evolves into spastic states. This type is often accompanied by intellectual disability and epilepsy. Based on the clinical classification of cerebral palsy children, targeted rehabilitation training is required, including gross motor skills, fine motor skills, balance, and coordination training.
