Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift her head, can roll over, and has normal appetite. She has no significant abnormalities except for occasional tremors. How should pediatric cerebral palsy be treated?
Answer
In terms of cerebral palsy treatment, the main methods include functional training, which involves physical activity training, skill training, and language training. In addition to this, the use of corrective devices is employed, followed by surgical treatment, which is primarily used to treat spastic cerebral palsy with the aim of correcting deformities. Other treatments include hyperbaric oxygen therapy, hydrotherapy, electrotherapy, and others that can complement functional training.
