Question
My 3-year-old nephew has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, and we are all very upset about it. However, I’ve heard that if properly cared for, there is a possibility of recovery, so I would like to know how to carry out home recovery for children with cerebral palsy?
Answer
Since the recovery of pediatric cerebral palsy is a long-term process, relying on 1-2 hours of clinical treatment each day is insufficient. Early treatment directly affects the prognosis of the child. Moreover, children cannot consciously carry out rehabilitation training. Family education is very important. The family is the best environment for a child’s growth. Parents and children spend the most time together, and scientific guidance is provided to parents. They will strive to get parents and relatives actively involved in the rehabilitation activities. Parents participating in and mastering some rehabilitation knowledge, and closely collaborating with doctors, can carry out rehabilitation training at home, thereby accelerating the child’s recovery process.
