Question

What are the specific methods for rehabilitation treatment in children with cerebral palsy?

Answer

The symptoms of cerebral palsy are diverse, and the rehabilitation treatment needs to be individually adjusted according to the patient’s nutritional status and developmental stage. For patients in good general condition with increased muscle tone and stable waist , orthopedic surgery can be considered initially to create conditions for recovery and prevent recurrence within one year. During the recovery process, if severe deformities or poor lumbar stability are present, selective posterior root rhizotomy (SPR) may be considered to avoid recurrence of deformities and increased treatment difficulty. For patients with postoperative muscle tension, complications, or poor recovery outcomes, appropriate selective peripheral nerve sectioning (SPN) can be implemented to further enhance the effectiveness of treatment.
