Question
A 100-day-old infant presents with symptoms such as high muscle tone, poor head control, and toe walking.Brain CT shows brain developmental disorder, enlarged ventricles, widened sulci, and reduced white matter. The doctor has diagnosed it as a central coordination disorder and has completed four sessions of rehabilitation treatment. How can one determine if such a patient has recovered?
Answer
The recovery assessment for central coordination disorders requires a comprehensive consideration of the patient’s symptom improvement and medical examination results. In this case, after the infant has completed four sessions of rehabilitation treatment, a repeat brain imaging examination should be conducted to assess changes in brain structure. At the same time, one should observe the infant’s recovery in muscle tone, head control, and walking posture, among other functional aspects.
