Question
My sister already has a son, and she was hoping for a daughter. Last year, my sister got pregnant and gave birth to a girl, which delighted everyone in the family. However, as time went by, we felt that the child’s development was not normal. Other children know how to grasp things and walk on their toes, but our child doesn’t. What are the symptoms of cerebral palsy?
Answer
Although not everyone in daily life has encountered cerebral palsy patients, images of childhood cerebral palsy can often be seen on television. Patients typically exhibit increased flexor tone in their upper limbs, with fingers curled into tight fists that grip their palms. At the same time, there is an increase in the tension of the adductor muscles in the thighs of the lower limbs, and the ankles are Bend. Due to damage to the cerebellum, patients may walk unsteadily and sway, with inconsistent movement of their limbs. Treatment for childhood cerebral palsy can be achieved through rehabilitation of limb function. The handback of a child with cerebral palsy can be exercised for about 20 minutes each day. The upper limb rehabilitation training for children with cerebral palsy mainly focuses on the up and down movement of the shoulder joint. The shoulder joint can be massaged with honghua oil or active oil.
