Question

An 18-month-old premature baby, born in July, can roll over and support sitting up with both hands, responds to play and loves to laugh. Past diagnoses and treatment experiences show that an MRI was performed at 12 months old, revealing poor cerebellar development. Premature babies are more prone to spastic cerebral palsy, which mainly manifests as motor function impairments in sitting, standing, and walking. What impact does poor cerebellar development have on a child’s motor function development? Is it possible to have other types of cerebral palsy as well?

Answer

Poor cerebellar development primarily affects a child’s motor function development, and whether it is accompanied by other types of cerebral palsy depends on clinical examination for confirmation. For spastic cerebral palsy, the most effective treatment method is micro needle therapy to reduce muscle tension, combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
