Question
Where should I go for treatment of pediatric cerebral palsy, and what is the most effective treatment method?
Answer
Combining home training with physician guidance, the recovery process for mild cerebral palsy is a long-term endeavor, and short-term hospitalization cannot yield good results. Many treatment methods for mild cerebral palsy need to be implemented at home, requiring close collaboration between parents and doctors to jointly develop training plans, assess training outcomes, and correct unreasonable treatment methods under physician guidance. Promoting normal motor development, inhibiting abnormal movements and postures, and conducting functional training according to the regularity of a child’s motor development can progressively encourage children to produce correct movements. This treatment method can alleviate the child’s motor disorders. Comprehensive treatment utilizes various effective means to provide a broad and diverse range of treatments to patients. In addition to treating motor disorders, interventions are also needed for associated speech disorders, intellectual disability, epilepsy, and behavioral abnormalities. It also involves cultivating patients’ abilities to face daily life, learn social interaction skills, and prepare for future careers.
