How to be passive and then active in cerebral palsy rehabilitation training

  Early intervention is the key to cerebral palsy treatment, especially early rehabilitation training, which can inhibit premature deformities, improve the child’s motor functions, enhance the child’s self-care ability, and activate the child’s motor potential to the maximum. Here, let the neurosurgeon explain how to be passive before active in cerebral palsy rehabilitation training.  The best time for early rehabilitation training is within the age of half a year, because the central nervous function of the child’s brain is not yet fully developed and the brain is more plastic, so this is the golden time for early intervention. Early rehabilitation is recommended for children before the age of 3. The rehabilitation training at this time is a passive training. The purpose is to prevent joint contractures and muscle atrophy.  Once the child reaches the age of 3, the role of rehabilitation training will slowly diminish, mainly because the child cannot effectively adhere to the rehabilitation training, and because the child has to go to school and the burden of school work is gradually increasing, the time for cerebral palsy rehabilitation training is not guaranteed, and the effect of rehabilitation is getting worse. At this time, a means is needed to change the original passive training into active training, because the rehabilitation time of cerebral palsy can be greatly shortened and the symptoms of cerebral palsy can be gradually reduced.  Currently, the most scientific treatment for cerebral palsy is surgery coupled with rehabilitation training, which can effectively relieve muscle tone and make the spasticity completely and effectively lifted. With the help of FSPR surgery, the patient’s pain can be effectively, comprehensively and completely relieved, and the surgery will not rebound or affect the child’s motor function. After the surgery, it is supplemented by rehabilitation training, which, firstly, changes passive training into active training, which can greatly improve the effect of the child’s rehabilitation training, and secondly, can improve the child’s motor potential to the maximum. The effective treatment of both can greatly enhance the treatment effect. The ultimate rehabilitation of the child is to gradually shorten the gap between the child’s motor function and that of a normal person.  Warm tip: Once a child is diagnosed with cerebral palsy, all should follow the doctor’s arrangement and give the child active and timely rehabilitation exercises. Parents of children with cerebral palsy should pay attention to this because the symptoms of cerebral palsy will get worse as the child grows up.
