How to detect children with pediatric cerebral palsy early

  Pediatric cerebral palsy is a syndrome of central nervous system damage caused by various reasons before, during and after birth, which may be accompanied by mental retardation, speech impairment, epilepsy, hearing impairment and other multi-system damage, but especially limb movement disorders and postural abnormalities.  Cerebral palsy is a very disabling disease, which seriously affects the quality of life of the child and brings a heavy burden to the society and family. The rehabilitation treatment of cerebral palsy is a long and arduous process, which is difficult for parents to bear. In order to reduce the incidence of cerebral palsy and the degree of disability, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment are necessary.  The early detection of cerebral palsy is related to the rehabilitation effect and self-care ability of children with cerebral palsy. We often detect and diagnose cerebral palsy based on the following symptoms: 1.  2, easily irritated, continuous crying or excessively quiet, very weak cry. Weakness in breastfeeding, difficulty in swallowing, easy to vomit, drowsiness, slow weight gain, little voluntary movement, etc.  3, abnormal muscle tone, body hardness or softness, uncoordinated movements, abnormal posture, often manifested as easy to head back, hands thumbs inward, double fist clenched and crossed pointed feet when standing, etc.  4, motor development is backward: for example, children from 3 months to 4 months old cannot hold their heads upright or lift their heads unsteadily in the prone position; at 4 months old, they still cannot support their weight with their forearms; at 7 months old, they still cannot sit alone, etc.  5. Delayed response to the surrounding environment: for example, at 6 months, the child does not respond to name calling, does not recognize people, does not cry; at 2 months, the child cannot smile; at 4 months, the child cannot laugh loudly; at 4-5 months, the child cannot reach out and grasp things; at 6 months, the child still has the ability to gaze at the hand.  If parents find that their children have the above symptoms, they should immediately go to the hospital for screening and diagnosis.
