Question
The child has been diagnosed as a high-risk case of cerebral palsy, with the upper body being soft and only having three months of gross motor development. How should we deal with this situation?
Answer
Preterm birth is an important risk factor for cerebral palsy. The diagnosis of cerebral palsy requires observation of two key conditions: 1. Preterm birth, hypoxia, high bilirubin levels, or a history of brain damage; 2. Inflexible movement indicating motor impairment. Currently, the child only has a rolling issue, and further observation is needed to determine if there are any other abnormalities. It is also recommended for parents to learn how to perform preventive interventions, such as passive exercises.
