Understand how to treat infant cerebral palsy and the principles of rehabilitation therapy.
Cerebral palsy affects children’s intelligence to varying degrees. Studies show that about 1/4 of children have normal intelligence, and 1/2 have mild to moderate intellectual deficiency. Treatment should be tailored to individual circumstances, with rehabilitation training being the most common method. It is recommended that parents consult with a professional at the hospital for specific advice.
A child diagnosed with cerebral palsy has a non-functional left hand, walks with a toe-curling gait, and seeks treatment methods.
Cerebral palsy is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired motor function, often accompanied by other sensory and cognitive impairments.
The main symptoms of pediatric cerebral palsy include motor disorders, postural disorders, intellectual disabilities, language disorders, visual and auditory impairments, growth and development disorders, dental development disorders, emotional and behavioral disorders, etc.
A child at three weeks old hasn’t started walking. At six months, an intelligence test was conducted at a children’s hospital, but the MRI was not completed due to the child’s non-cooperation. The doctor diagnosed cerebral palsy and suggested home rehabilitation treatment. At two years old, the MRI was attempted again, but the results were still unsuccessful. Now, at three years old, the recovery is slow, and an authoritative treatment method is sought.
For children who start walking at the age of 8 and run with their heels not touching the ground, legs in a semi-circular posture, treatment includes medication such as nerve nutrition drugs, muscle relaxants, and blood circulation drugs.
