Question
My baby is almost ready for kindergarten, but he still walks unsteadily, falls over easily, moves slowly, speaks with unclear articulation, doesn’t smile much, has a vacant expression, and is intellectually below average. I’m very worried. We went to the hospital for a check-up and the baby was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Can children with cerebral palsy be cured?
Answer
Cerebral palsy manifests in various forms, including spastic, athetoid, and ataxic types. Generally, cerebral palsy is difficult to completely cure. Current rehabilitation methods mainly include prone position training and other techniques that help improve symptoms and enhance the patient’s quality of life.
