How much does treatment for pediatric cerebral palsy cost? What is an early sign of pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
The cost of treating cerebral palsy in Beijing varies by hospital and treatment method, and it is recommended to consult the specific hospital for detailed cost information. An early sign of pediatric cerebral palsy is abnormal reflexes, manifested as delayed or absent primitive reflexes and weakened protective reflexes. When the child is pushed into a sitting position, there is a reflexive response without support from the hands. Cerebral palsy is primarily a motor disability and posture abnormality caused by various reasons due to brain damage and developmental defects, which may be accompanied by intellectual disability, psychological disorders, and emotional disorders. Treatment methods include rehabilitation therapy to alleviate sequelae. There are no special dietary requirements; normal diet is sufficient.
