Question

What is pediatric cerebral palsy?

Answer

Pediatric cerebral palsy, also known as infantile cerebral palsy, is a non-progressive syndrome that appears early in childhood, characterized by non-episodic central voluntary muscle dysfunction, such as severe limb pain, abnormal posture attention, and involuntary movement. It can also be accompanied by symptoms such as epilepsy, intellectual disability, language and visual impairments. The incidence rate in our country has no precise report, while reports from abroad range from 1.5‰ to 5‰ of live births.
