Question
My child always falls and seems to lack strength. Concerned, I took him to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said my child has pediatric cerebral palsy. The whole family is worried and doesn’t know how to treat the child properly.
Answer
Spastic Diplegia: Characterized by delayed motor development, significantly lagging behind same age children. Parents usually notice the condition when the child struggles to lift their head, roll over, or sit up. The child’s limbs are often immobile, especially the lower limbs, often showing hemiplegia, bilateral paresis, or quadriplegia. Due to difficulties in voluntary movement, the child’s movements are rigid and uncoordinated, often exhibiting abnormal movement patterns. Recommendation: Aggressive treatment is suggested to maximize the reduction of intellectual impairment in the child.
