Question
A neighbor’s child is already quite old, but there seems to be an issue with intellectual development. It’s said that it’s due to having had cerebral palsy as a child. My spouse and I are planning to have a child and are feeling worried about this. We would like to understand: How is cerebral palsy in children caused?
Answer
The primary causes of cerebral palsy include neonatal hypoxemia and ischemia, as well as trauma received in the womb. These symptoms may not be easily noticeable in the early stages. It is recommended that you seek professional advice from a hospital. Rehabilitation training is a crucial treatment method for cerebral palsy patients, especially during early treatment. Through rehabilitation training, it can promote the compensation of function in the damaged area as brain tissue continues to mature and differentiate, thereby improving the child’s motor function.
