Pediatric cerebral palsy, also known as cerebral palsy or cerebral palsy, is a syndrome of nonprogressive brain injury and developmental defects from conception through infancy, manifested primarily by movement disorders and postural abnormalities. It is often combined with mental retardation, epilepsy, perceptual disorders, communication disorders, behavioral abnormalities and other abnormalities. In order to better recognize cerebral palsy so as to get the right treatment, I will introduce some general knowledge of cerebral palsy for parents’ reference. Early diagnosis of cerebral palsy The following symptoms are helpful for early diagnosis of cerebral palsy: (1) Children often cry less, move less, cry less and are excessively quiet shortly after birth. Or they cry a lot, are easily provoked, easily startled or have repeated flesh jumps. (2) Difficulty in feeding after birth, such as weak sucking, difficulty in swallowing, and poor mouth closure. (3) Uncoordinated and asymmetrical movements, few random movements. (4) Frequent abnormal muscle tone, abnormal posture and movement patterns. (5) Delayed motor development. For example, at 3 to 4 months of age, the child cannot hold his head up in the prone position; at 4 months of age, the child still cannot support his weight with his forearms; his hands are often clenched in fists, and he cannot put his hands into his mouth to suck; at 6 to 7 months of age, the child still cannot turn over and sit alone for a few moments; he cannot bear his own weight with the toes of the feet or with the legs flexed or with the two lower limbs straightened or crossed when he supports himself in his standing position. Diagnostic Misconceptions of Pediatric Cerebral Palsy Misconceptions (1): Although some parents found that their children had unexplained crying, poor feeding, too quiet, and body jerking when frightened before half a year old, they simply thought that their children were small and weak, did they have a cold? Is it a cold? Is it bad digestion? Is it infected with other diseases? Myth (2): Parents of preterm babies who see their children turn over, lie down, sit, stand, walk and other motor development lag behind other normal children of the same age, often simply think that it is the cause of preterm birth, the child will slowly recover with the natural growth and development, and often take a “wait-and-see, wait” attitude. Myth (3): When parents find that their children have abnormal postures in sports, they often think that the children have problems with their bones and muscles and miss the time to consult the doctor. Misunderstanding (4): Once the doctor confirms that the child is cerebral palsy, the first attitude that parents often take is to blindly seek medical treatment, hoping that the child’s motor dysfunction can be relieved through conventional “injections and medications”. Treatment of pediatric cerebral palsy (1) What parents need to know and do Physical therapy can be adopted for the treatment of children with simple cerebral palsy, such as massage, passive movement, automatic mediated movement, automatic movement, resistance movement, conditioned movement, mixed movement, combined movement, resting, relaxation, flaccid limb movement, balancing movement, reciprocal movement, reaching movement, etc. The sole purpose of these movements is to help the child’s limbs to function well. purpose is to help the child’s limbs move, stimulate nerve endings and damaged brain cells, and bring about the early recovery of a paralyzed child. These functional training methods cannot be explained in a few words; it is a strict set of training methods designed for cerebral palsy patients. If your child is suffering from cerebral palsy, parents should bring your child to a cerebral palsy center to receive treatment or your family should go to the center to learn a set of treatment methods to rehabilitate your child at home. (2) Surgical treatment for spastic cerebral palsy Of all the surgical procedures performed on patients with cerebral palsy, selective dorsal spinal rhizotomy (SPR) has withstood the most scientific scrutiny. Accumulated evidence and our own experience suggest that SPR surgery is an excellent option for patients with cerebral palsy with spasticity. We believe that parents and patients need to be counseled about SPR surgery before undergoing orthopedic surgery as part of the treatment of cerebral palsy. Our studies have shown that SPR with neurophysiologic monitoring is safe and effective in reducing spasticity, and that children with cerebral palsy show significant improvement in walking, standing, and sitting after surgery.
