Question
What can be done to alleviate excessive muscle tone, as the head cannot be stabilized, and is there hope for a cure for cerebral palsy?
Answer
The child was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at just 6 months old, indicating a severe condition. Since the cause is related to “jaundice,” it may develop into an “uncontrolled movement type,” characterized by frequent involuntary movements, poor posture control, and poor movement quality, but normal intellectual development can be expected. Precautions should be taken regarding language development, as unclear articulation may occur. The difficulty in curing it is extremely high, and treatment should be started as early as possible.
