Question
My wife and I have had a child, and the hospital examination said that the child has cerebral palsy. The child has been receiving treatment since they were one year old, but the results have not been very good. Where is the best place for pediatric cerebral palsy treatment?
Answer
Cerebral palsy refers to permanent limb posture and movement abnormalities caused by certain injuries before the brain grows and develops. These abnormalities persist as the child grows. Improvement in joint function and enhancement of self-care abilities are achieved by increasing joint mobility, regulating muscle tone, improving motor control, coordination, strength, and endurance. Common techniques include: positioning therapy, soft tissue stretching, muscle tone regulation techniques, and functional active activity reinforcement training.
