Question
The child, who is one and a half years old, exhibits abnormal posture while standing and walking, characterized by “knee flexion” and poor stability in walking, often falling. Language expression is limited to calling “Mom” and “Dad,” unable to learn other words. What hospitals in Tianjin are skilled in treating pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
After diagnosis, the child is found to have cerebral palsy, also known as pediatric cerebral palsy. It should be noted that cerebral palsy does not necessarily affect intelligence; it primarily causes motor and language impairments due to brain hypoxia. Since the child is still young, rehabilitation training should be the main focus, as medication and surgical treatment have little effect. Persistent rehabilitation training may improve symptoms. If by the age of three there is no significant improvement in symptoms, consider surgical intervention. Renowned hospitals in the Tianjin area include Tianjin Huanhu Hospital, Tianjin Third Central Hospital, and Tianjin Children’s Hospital, which have extensive experience and a good reputation in treating pediatric cerebral palsy.
