Question

A one-year-old child is unable to sit, crawl, or roll over, and has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The neurologist has prescribed medication, while the rehabilitation department suggests that training should be the main focus rather than medication treatment. How should parents choose a treatment plan?

Answer

Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive brain injury caused by various factors in the early stages of development, primarily characterized by central motor impairment and abnormal posture. Treatment should adopt comprehensive measures, with early consideration of medication treatment and later focusing on functional training. Since the treatment process for children is lengthy, it is recommended that parents closely monitor the treatment effects and follow the professional advice of doctors.
