What to pay attention to in the rehabilitation of pediatric cerebral palsy

  The rehabilitation of pediatric cerebral palsy is a long-term process, and the rehabilitation of pediatric cerebral palsy plays a pivotal role in the treatment. Parents and rehabilitation staff should not be too hasty when conducting training, and should be persistent and not give up halfway. So, what do we need to pay attention to in the rehabilitation treatment of pediatric cerebral palsy? What are the key points of rehabilitation treatment for pediatric cerebral palsy? Let’s learn more about it together.  The principle of rehabilitation treatment for pediatric cerebral palsy: 1. Because cerebral palsy is a chronic disease, it requires patient training day after day. The recovery of various functions mainly depends on the child’s own exercise with the help of doctors and parents. Therefore, various movements must be adapted to the child first.  2. The principle of continuous repetition. For every function restored, children with cerebral palsy have to pay a certain price, and each movement needs to be trained repeatedly before it can be finally consolidated. At the same time, only after a certain action is characterized can the training of the next action be carried out. Training should follow the principle of demonstration, wait, encourage, and then wait, and then demonstrate.  3. The principle of no substitution. It is impossible for children with cerebral palsy to perform every movement by themselves, so parents must help them. However, it must be emphasized that help is never a substitute. For example, some children can eat slowly by themselves, but their posture is incorrect and they tend to get their clothes dirty, so parents can only help correct their incorrect posture, but not feed them.  4, but not too much care principle. Many parents of children always pity their children and unconsciously over-care; in fact, this is not necessary, but also detrimental to the training of children. Over time, too much care is bound to develop the child’s laziness and dependence. Therefore, the training must allow the child to cooperate with each action. When the child’s attention is not focused, parents can take toys to shift their attention to various actions, but do not take excessive care; 5, avoid abnormal force principle. Because the child is in a long-term abnormal range of activities, resulting in different degrees of limb abnormalities. The main cause of abnormal posture is the problem of abnormal force, the more serious the abnormal force, the more serious the abnormal posture. If the abnormal exertion is not corrected in time, it will certainly increase the muscle tone of the child and lead to the intensification of the dysfunction. Therefore, avoiding abnormal force is a key issue in the process of rehabilitation training for children. If the child is barely able to walk on a flat road, do not rush him to practice crossing obstacles or going up and down stairs.
