The child was born in poor health and was sick every day. The birth was a premature baby, for which the child stayed in the hospital incubator for a long time. At the end of the day, the child’s resistance was good enough to return home, and at first the child’s resistance was mainly poor. We gave her a variety of nutritional drugs, the child’s health is gradually getting better, but found that the child can not lift the head. We thought it would get better after a while, but in the end, the child could not lift her head until now. The child’s neck muscles were soft and had no strength. I heard that Professor Chang Chongwang of the Tangdu Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University here is better at treating this condition, so we came to see if it could be cured. The main symptom of the child: is that the head is not too up, the neck is soft, and the child feels that the neck muscles are flabby and weak. Dr. Chang Chongwang, Tangdu Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University: As you said above, the child is a premature baby and is particularly sick, the main reason for this is that the child was born prematurely and all parts of the child are not mature. Therefore, the child’s soft head is mainly due to this aspect. Now that the child is still unable to lift his head at four months, and the child is a preemie, we can determine that the child’s dominant motor function is impaired due to immaturity of the brain caused by prematurity, and thus the child’s neck is unable to lift his head. Parents: Can the child be cured of this problem? Can the child’s floppy head be improved? Dr. Chongwang Chang: The child’s problem is quite serious, unlike spastic cerebral palsy patients, who can have an operation and then do rehabilitation training for a period of time, and then it will be almost normal. But this problem of the child now, the head drooping, can only be solved by rehabilitative training. A fixed head apparatus is made for the child’s neck, and then gradually the strength of the child’s neck is exercised. This is the only way to treat it now. Parents: How long will this rehabilitation take? Will the child be able to lift his head in the future? Dr. Chongwang Chang: The specific rehabilitation training for this problem is very uncertain. In general, in serious cases, the child should be allowed to do so until the age of 18, but the amount of training will be relatively light. I can give you an analysis of whether the child’s head can be lifted. The biggest advantage of the child is that the child is still young, so as the child grows slowly the child’s body will continue to develop and the child’s head strength will slowly recover accordingly. This is the biggest advantage now, but this time may take a long time. Dr. Chongwang Chang: Parents must be prepared for long term training when giving their children rehabilitation. Because the rehabilitation of cerebral palsy is a long term treatment. Parents should not be in a hurry, but should do it step by step, and at the same time, they should give their children confidence so that they can see the hope of recovery.
