Question
What symptoms may appear in children after birth? How effective is the treatment for cerebral palsy?
Answer
Cerebral palsy refers to a central nervous system disorder caused by non-progressive brain damage or other factors, leading to a motor disability due to abnormal brain development. Patients may present with abnormal posture, muscle tone abnormalities, muscle weakness, involuntary movements, and coordination disorders. In some cases, they may also experience sensory, cognitive, communication, and behavioral problems, as well as skeletal muscle abnormalities. It is recommended that children with cerebral palsy pay attention to their diet by consuming easily digestible, nutritious foods, especially those rich in protein and vitamins, which can help promote brain development and improve basic intellectual activities.
