How should cerebral palsy be determined?

  Many infants and toddlers with cerebral palsy do not notice any obvious abnormal conditions in their children after “;croaking”; falling to the ground, especially those children with mild cerebral palsy are more likely to be overlooked, and even if some of them can draw the attention of parents and clinicians, there is no clear diagnosis, and they may even mistake them for other diseases, such as rickets, zinc deficiency, malnutrition, chondromalacia, etc. This makes the infants miss the early This makes the infant miss the early diagnosis and misses the opportunity of early treatment.  In fact, the early signs of cerebral palsy, such as motor disorders, abnormal posture and abnormal feeding, are not difficult to detect if one observes them carefully. These early signs can help parents to identify them as early as possible: infants within 3 weeks are easily startled, cry more than once or cry faintly, have difficulty sleeping, have difficulty feeding, refuse to breastfeed or cry while eating, have difficulty swallowing, have choking and coughing when eating, and are prone to hug-like fright and crying when hearing noise and changing position. 4-6 weeks old infants are poorly responsive to external stimuli, have indifferent expressions, and have little or no voluntary movement. “At 3 months of age, infants cannot roll over and lift their heads when lying prone; at 4-6 months of age, they still have unstable vertical heads, cannot follow objects, still show inward thumbs and fist-like hands, cannot reach out to grasp objects, and cannot roll over; at 6-8 months of age, they still cannot sit alone; after 8 months of age, they still have no crawling awareness and movement. If parents find any of these signs, they should go to a regular hospital for examination in time.  The treatment of cerebral palsy is not a simple task that can be achieved by just one surgery or a short period of rehabilitation training, but requires a multi-method integrated treatment, the cooperation of different professionals, including the active multi-stage long-term work of parents, only in this way can the purpose of effectively controlling the symptoms of the disease and improving the function of cerebral palsy be achieved more quickly. After the condition is clarified, the next task is to start rehabilitation intervention work as soon as possible, and such work broadly includes rehabilitation training and surgical treatment.  For children with cerebral palsy, the improvement in prone leg raising is the result of increased control and muscle strength of the hip and knee extension muscles, and the improvement in squatting and standing is the result of increased control and muscle strength of the knee extension and ankle flexion and extension muscles. Therefore, after surgery to relieve spasticity and reduce muscle tone, rehabilitation training can effectively enhance muscle strength, muscle group coordination and overall control.
