Rehabilitation Training Methods for Children with Cerebral Palsy

Question

How should children with cerebral palsy undergo rehabilitation training?

Answer

Rehabilitation training for children with cerebral palsy can be conducted in the following ways: First, intracavitary sensory stimulation using silicone finger gloves to stimulate the mouth, lips, cheeks, and tongue, performed twice daily for 10 minutes each session. Next, muscle group exercises involving the use of ice or finger tips to stimulate the muscles of the lips and cheeks, also done twice daily for 5 minutes each session. Additionally, the child’s fingers should be washed and vigorously wiped, repeated 30 times daily to enhance the function and motor coordination of the oral muscles. These exercises aim to alleviate symptoms, increase sensation, and improve motor coordination.
