How to Treat Cerebral Palsy for Recovery?

My son has cerebral palsy, and it’s been incredibly stressful. He doesn’t speak clearly, and the doctor said he has ataxia, with very weak strength. He seems to have little sensation in his body. Cerebral palsy children often have reduced movement in infancy, poor suckling ability, and feeding responses. A normal 6-month-old baby often kicks and performs stepping movements in the supine position and frequently alternates play. Cerebral palsy children show significantly reduced kicking movements and very few alternating movements. Most cerebral palsy patients may have varying degrees of speech disorders. Recommendations include: if the child’s movements have not changed and their posture is abnormal, orthopedic surgery can improve the current deformity and prevent further deterioration of limb deformity. This requires parents to show more patience and love to help their children recover, encourage more physical activity in children, and cultivate more interests in them, which is very helpful for the development of their intelligence.

The treatment for pediatric cerebral palsy is a long-term endeavor with no quick fixes. Hospitalization for the affected baby is only temporary, with long-term treatment and training to be carried out at home. Cerebral palsy is progressive brain cell damage caused by various reasons during pregnancy or within a month after birth, leading to a series of symptoms. For upper limb functional training, we can use verbal guidance and manual assistance to conduct the training. Before training, it is necessary to check the residual functional status of the child’s hand, evaluate the main obstacles for guidance training, and then guide the child to practice palming and finger opposition, finally practicing grip. It is recommended for children with cerebral palsy to consume more vegetables and fruits and less fatty meat, as vegetables and fruits contain vitamins and fiber, which can help maintain smooth bowel movements.
