Question
What should be done about pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
Cerebral palsy typically refers to a non-progressive motor disorder caused by various reasons leading to non-progressive brain damage or brain developmental abnormalities between pre-birth and one month after birth. The treatment plan should aim to maximize the stability of the child’s function and reduce the impact on their quality of life, as much as possible, to minimize secondary joint deformities and soft tissue scar contractures, and to delay or prevent surgical treatment.
