How can babies with cerebral palsy be trained to sit and roll over?

  The incidence of cerebral palsy has been on the rise in recent years, and the onset of cerebral palsy has a certain impact on all functions of the patient’s body. In the process of daily rehabilitation, functional training can be conducted for different parts of the patient with cerebral palsy to improve the quality of survival. So, how to do sitting training for cerebral palsy patients? The following is a detailed introduction for you: 1. Sitting training (1) Hand-legged type Bend the child’s feet together and grasp the shoulders with your hands, turn them inward and let him support himself with his hands on the sides.  (2) Spastic type The child’s legs are separated, the upper body is leaned forward, and the lower limbs are pressed straight with the hands, and the child with cerebral palsy is encouraged to bend forward.  (3) Hypotonia The trainer holds the child, presses down on the lumbar spine with both hands, and puts the thumbs on both sides of the spine to give a fixed force, which can promote the straightening of the head and body. After the child learns to sit steadily, he can often be pushed back and forth, left and right, so that the child can learn to maintain balance in a dynamic manner.  When the child is unstable in sitting, you can ask him to sit with his legs crossed, so that his body is leaning forward and his waist is straightened when he sits. Cross-legged sitting is good for those with spastic hip splits. For older children you can sit him on your lap with both knees straight. To straighten his back, hold his hips and press downward. The child can sit on a chair with a backrest, the height of the chair is: hip, knee and ankle flexion 90 °, both feet can land on the ground as the standard.  2.Crawling training Place the child with cerebral palsy on both hands and knees, put a large bath towel around the child’s abdomen, and tease the child with a toy one meter in front of the child. Adults can use the towel to lift the child up and make him/her crawl forward, which is also one of the basic training for children with cerebral palsy.  The basic training for children with cerebral palsy can also be done by having the child lie down on a large ball, with the adult holding the child’s hands and raising the child’s head naturally. The child lies prone on a triangular wooden block, and the adult sits opposite the child and plays hide and seek with him using a handkerchief to tease him to raise his head and turn back and forth to the left and right.  4. Forward leaning training Basic training for children with cerebral palsy can be done by having the child with cerebral palsy sit on a large shaggy dog toy, leaning his body forward and touching the shaggy dog’s hair with his hands.  5. Position sensory training Adults sit behind the child with cerebral palsy, pull the child’s hands and play a rowing game to enhance the child’s sense of position.  6. Axial rotation training Adults sit on the floor with the child with cerebral palsy (or let the child sit on the adult’s lap) and hold the child’s arms, turn left and right, and play a tug game to enhance the child’s awareness of axial rotation.
