Question
My son has cerebral palsy. How can we treat it for recovery?
Answer
Cerebral palsy children often have reduced movement in infancy, poor suckling ability, and feeding responses. A normal 6-month-old baby often kicks and performs stepping movements in the supine position and frequently alternates play. Cerebral palsy children show significantly reduced kicking movements and very few alternating movements. Most cerebral palsy patients may have varying degrees of speech disorders. Recommendations include: if the child’s movements have not changed and their posture is abnormal, orthopedic surgery can improve the current deformity and prevent further deterioration of limb deformity. This requires parents to show more patience and love to help their children recover, encourage more physical activity in children, and cultivate more interests in them, which is very helpful for the development of their intelligence.
