Clinically, doctors can be assisted in the initial diagnosis of cerebral palsy by observing both symptoms and signs of the child. 1. Symptoms: Commonly, children lag behind their peers in learning how to hold up their head, roll over, sit, crawl, stand and walk; their body is too hard or too soft; their cries are weak and excessively quiet; their movements are uncoordinated and asymmetric; their legs are crossed in a scissor-like manner and their toes are drooping in the upright hanging position; and their toes land on the ground when they help themselves to stand. 2. Physical signs: such as the presence of embracing reflex, corrective reflex, the presence of trunk lateral bending reflex after three months of life, the presence of kicking reflex, and so on. If you suspect that your baby has cerebral palsy, parents are advised to consult a doctor in time for diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor, and do not blindly consult a doctor or make judgment on your own to avoid adverse consequences.
