Question

My baby is not lively and doesn’t pay attention to me during play or communication. Someone said it might be cerebral palsy. What specific symptoms does this disease have? What kind of manifestations might my one-year-old child have?

Answer

If a one-year-old baby uses one hand to pick up things and shows asymmetric voluntary movement, it may suggest cerebral palsy. After the child’s cerebral palsy diagnosis is confirmed by a medical institution, rehabilitation training should be initiated as soon as possible. The intervention for children with brain damage is mainly through the primary input pathways of vision, hearing, and skin sensation, and appropriate information stimulation is conducted. The three main output performances of gross motor skills, fine motor skills, and language are slightly developed compared to normal movement. Early functional training.
