Question
A friend’s baby has been diagnosed with brain palsy. Where can they seek treatment from an authoritative institution?
Answer
Brain palsy, commonly known as cerebral palsy, is a movement disorder caused by non-progressive brain damage or other factors that occur within a month after birth, leading to abnormal brain development. Clinically, it manifests as abnormal posture and muscle tone, muscle weakness, involuntary movements, and coordination disorders. It often accompanies sensory, cognitive, communication, and behavioral issues, and may also result in epilepsy seizures. It is recommended to cultivate good living habits, such as going to bed early and waking up early, and taking a nap in the afternoon. Maintain a balanced diet and consume foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as fresh fruits and vegetables.
