Question

Hello doctor, my cousin’s child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy since childhood and has been treated in many hospitals, but it still hasn’t been cured. Now, the family is very worried about this. So, how should we treat it? Where can one get effective treatment for cerebral palsy?

Answer

Hello, I’m glad to answer your question: For particularly severe children, the main goal should be to provide easy care and alleviate family burdens. This typically includes: understanding the child’s condition and arranging daily life; targeted muscle and joint mobility training; stretching treatment for spastic muscles; strengthening functional active exercises; and the use of assistive devices such as orthopedic braces, chairs, standing frames, and wheelchairs, etc.
