Question
Last year, my sister’s family welcomed a little princess, and we were all overjoyed. However, after a period of care, we found that the child kept crying all the time, and the left leg felt weak as well. After a comprehensive check-up at the hospital, the whole family was particularly distressed. Where are the symptoms of cerebral palsy?
Answer
The symptoms of cerebral palsy mainly include muscle tension, difficulty with abduction, severe muscle weakness, spasms, joint flexion and extension postures. They are often accompanied by various impairments in sensation, cognition, communication, behavior, and secondary skeletal muscle abnormalities. Epileptic seizures may also occur. Targeted rehabilitation training for children with cerebral palsy is conducted based on clinical classification, including gross motor, balance, and coordination training. Physical rehabilitation treatment includes massage and physical therapy, which has the functions of correction, promoting blood circulation, expectoration, and regulating Qi and blood to improve internal organ function. There are many methods such as pushing, moving, pressing, kneading, and osteopathy. It must be based on the child’s age, condition, and symptoms, and the effectiveness and skill level are certain.
