What is pediatric cerebral palsy?

  Cerebral palsy (CP) is a non-progressive brain injury syndrome in children from before to one month after birth due to various pathogenic factors. The main manifestations are central motor deficits and postural abnormalities, often accompanied by various degrees of mental retardation, language disorders, epilepsy, and visual, auditory, behavioral and perceptual abnormalities.  Firstly, cerebral palsy occurs in the early stages of a child’s life, part of which is before birth, when the fetal brain has abnormal development, and part of which occurs during birth or within one month after birth, which is the fastest stage of brain growth and development. Second, cerebral palsy is a non-progressive disorder, and with age and development, as well as reasonable rehabilitation treatment and training, a series of disorders can be improved, but if rehabilitation treatment and training are not adhered to, the disorders can be aggravated, such as secondary joint contractures and deformities, and even psychological disorders and learning difficulties, but this is not caused by the aggravation of brain lesions. However, the brain damage is often extensive, not only the motor function is damaged, but also other functions, thus, the clinical manifestation is often a syndrome of multifunctional disorders.
