Question
Could some of the child’s behaviors after birth be related to cerebral palsy?
Answer
Cerebral palsy refers to brain damage or abnormal development caused by various reasons within the first month after birth, leading to motor impairments. This may manifest as abnormal posture, muscle problems, difficulties in movement, and may be accompanied by sensory, cognitive, and behavioral issues. Treatment can involve increasing joint mobility, adjusting muscle tone, improving motor control and coordination to enhance motor function and self-care abilities.
