(1) Early diagnosis and early treatment Because the brain of children with cerebral palsy is damaged to varying degrees at an immature stage, it causes certain functions of the central nervous system to become impaired. Early treatment can promote the effective compensation of the function of the damaged brain in the process of continuous maturation and differentiation. In the early stages of the child’s development, the central nervous system tastes immature, and as it grows older, the nervous system continues to mature and differentiate, generating new functions and gradually forming a specialization of various functions. Generally speaking, by the age of 6 years, the various functions of the central nervous system are basically well developed and specialized in normal children. Therefore, it may be more difficult to start training various functions beyond the age of 6 years. For those children with cerebral palsy who are older and have not received early rehabilitation, they have developed stubborn and difficult to correct abnormal movement patterns due to the influence of long-term abnormal postures and reflexes. Especially for those children with severe spasticity, the abnormal posture and movement patterns often further exacerbate their spasticity and eventually lead to irreversible tendon contractures and bone and joint deformities, making rehabilitation treatment extremely difficult. Children with congenital cerebral palsy will achieve satisfactory results if they are clearly diagnosed and treated promptly at 6~8 months of age. At 3~6 months of age, the grip reflex, tense neck reflex and hug reflex disappear respectively, followed by eye hand and coordinated movements of eye, hand and waist. At this time, a careful parent will be able to detect abnormalities in the child’s limb motor function. If abnormalities are suspected, a doctor should be consulted in time to make an early diagnosis. For postnatal cerebral palsy, comprehensive rehabilitation measures must be taken as early as possible after the vital signs are stabilized, and the rehabilitation effect of such children is much better than that of children with congenital cerebral palsy. (2) Comprehensive treatment and persistence No matter what kind of dysfunction is involved, it is difficult to achieve the desired effect by using only a single treatment. For the motor dysfunction of children with cerebral palsy, it is also necessary to select appropriate motor therapy and carry out repeated training, and to cooperate with other measures such as physical therapy, acupuncture, massage, tui-na and psychotherapy for comprehensive treatment. Only in this way can the intended purpose be achieved. In addition, parents and rehabilitation staff should not be too hasty when conducting training, and should not give up halfway. (3) Emphasis on parental involvement The rehabilitation of cerebral palsy requires a long-term process, and many training actions must be done in a one-to-one situation, i.e., one therapist training one child, and some even in a two-to-one situation. Moreover, it is impossible to solve all the problems of the child with just one to two hours of training per day by the therapist in the rehabilitation facility. Therefore, training should be integrated into daily family life to ensure that the child receives long-term, systematic and reasonable training at home. To achieve this goal, it is important to emphasize parental involvement in the treatment. The family is the most familiar environment for the child, and the parents are the first teachers of the child. It is easiest for the parents to eliminate the psychological barriers to the child’s training, so that the child can actively cooperate and achieve good training results. Therefore, parents must master the basic training methods and principles, understand the long-term nature and difficulty of disease treatment, and understand the advantages and significance of family rehabilitation. Close cooperation between parents and therapists is extremely important for the rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy. (The therapist and parents should pay attention to the child’s psychology when formulating the training plan, and give appropriate encouragement to the child’s efforts and progress during the training process, so as to enhance the child’s confidence and strengthen the progress. The training program should be arranged in a step-by-step manner, so that the child does not feel timid and intimidated at the beginning of the training, thus losing the confidence to continue the effort. Attention should also be paid to avoid the monotony and dullness of training, and to integrate training into games and entertainment. (5) The rehabilitation training plan should be individualized. Since each child with cerebral palsy has different motor impairments and potential abilities, the therapist and parents should develop a training plan that is individualized and not uniform. When a child does not complete the training program as planned, the reasons for this should be examined and a new training program should be developed to suit the child. Note that all training programs must focus on the development of the child’s functional abilities and lay a good foundation for his future participation in social life.
