Question
My neighbor’s child was recently diagnosed with pediatric cerebral palsy. Alas, it’s truly pitiful for a child to have to suffer so soon after birth. I want to help them, so I’m asking the experts what symptoms this child with cerebral palsy might have?
Answer
The symptoms of pediatric cerebral palsy are as follows: 1. Persistent central motor impairment, severe motor function disabilities such as lifting the head, rolling over, sitting, crawling, standing, and walking, as well as fine motor function disabilities in the hands, and persistent functional disabilities in daily activities. Secondly, abnormal motor posture. The development of posture movement lags behind the milestones of motor development to adapt to the regularity and characteristics of normal posture in children, which manifests as immature, unbalanced, abnormal, diverse, and abnormally developed posture development. Thirdly, abnormal development of reflexes, mainly manifested as the delayed disappearance or persistence of primitive reflexes and the occurrence or delay of protective reflexes.
