Question
My child was diagnosed with cerebral palsy soon after birth and is now three years old. The treatment has been average, and I would like to know which hospitals specialize in treating children with cerebral palsy?
Answer
Children with cerebral palsy often show significant symptoms after three months, manifesting as hypoactivity in the affected limbs, persistent fist clenching, persistent grasp reflex, forearm in a Flexion and pronation state, and a circular gait. Some patients may initially present with hypotonia, which later turns into a spastic state. This type of cerebral palsy is often accompanied by intellectual disability and epilepsy. Treating cerebral palsy is a long-term process, and it is recommended to simultaneously undergo medication treatment and pediatric physical therapy to help promote the child’s future intellectual development.
