Question
Children with cerebral palsy often have abnormal walking posture, with their toes touching the ground, and their ability to express themselves is limited. What is the approximate cost of treating this condition?
Answer
When treating pediatric cerebral palsy, the first step is to teach the child to use their hands to support their body, with the palms facing down to bear the weight. However, each child’s condition is different, and for some children with more severe conditions, they may not be able to bear the full weight of their body solely with their palms. In such cases, assistance can be provided to the child’s elbow joint to maintain an upright posture of the upper limb, preventing the elbow joint from bending suddenly, and guiding the child to lift their chest and upper abdomen off the bed surface, using their lower abdomen to bear the weight. Since each child’s condition varies, the treatment cost will also differ. It is recommended to undergo treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor to obtain the most suitable treatment plan.
