Question
Will newborns with cerebral palsy experience language expression disorders? If so, are there corresponding medication or rehabilitation treatments available?
Answer
Cerebral palsy in newborns typically refers to central nervous system motor disorders caused by non-progressive brain damage or various reasons leading to abnormal brain development within the first month after birth. Clinical manifestations include abnormal posture, muscle tone, muscle weakness, involuntary movements, and ataxia. Treatment methods include increasing joint mobility, regulating muscle tone, improving motor control, coordination, strength, and endurance to enhance motor function and self-care abilities. Common techniques include postural therapy, soft tissue stretching, muscle tone regulation, functional active exercises, muscle strength and endurance training, balance and coordination control, and physical factors.
