Question
Although not everyone in daily life has seen a cerebral palsy patient, what symptoms might a child with cerebral palsy experience?
Answer
Patients typically exhibit increased tone in the flexors of the upper limbs, showing a clenched fist when the fingers are bent. At the same time, the adductor muscles of the thighs also show increased tone, and the ankles are Bend. Due to damage to the cerebellum, patients may sway while walking and their limb movements may be uncoordinated. The focus of treatment for pediatric cerebral palsy is on the recovery of limb function, with about 20 minutes of rehabilitation training on the back of the hand daily. The rehabilitation training for the upper limbs mainly targets the up and down movement of the shoulder joint, and treatments can be administered using honghua oil or active oil.
