Will my child with cerebral palsy be able to walk on his own in the future? This is a question that parents are eager to know. Because the severity of damage to the motor center of the brain, which is responsible for movement, varies, each child with cerebral palsy has a different motor ability. In mild cases, the child’s motor ability is close to normal, while in severe cases, the child is bedridden for life. The following are some indicators obtained by foreign experts through the follow-up of a large number of cases, which are useful for predicting the future walking ability of children with cerebral palsy. First, the prediction is based on the type of cerebral palsy. Spastic biplegia 85%-90% will walk, spastic hemiplegia 100% will walk, quadriplegia 1/4-1/3 will walk, and tardive cerebral palsy 3/4 will walk. Second, the prediction is based on age. If a child with diplegia cannot walk independently at the age of more than 6 or 7 years old, it is unlikely that he or she will be able to walk independently in the future. In children with hemiplegia, 100% will walk before the age of 3. Quadriplegia has the worst prognosis and is caused by persistent anoxic brain damage in full-term infants, often accompanied by severe mental retardation. About 1/2 of the tachycardic type will walk before the age of 3 years, and some of them will still walk after the age of 8 or 9 years or even 14 years, which is obviously different from the age limit of 6 or 7 years for diplegic children. Third, the prediction is based on the motor ability of the child before 4 years of age. If a child with cerebral palsy can lift his head at 9 months, sit steadily at 24 months, and crawl at 30 months, it indicates that he will walk in the future; if he can sit steadily from 1.5 to 2 years old, it indicates that he will be able to walk in the community in the future; if he can sit unaided from 2 to 4 years old, it indicates that he will be able to move indoors or outdoors for a short distance with the help of a walker; if he cannot sit at 4 years old, he will not have the ability to walk with assistance.
