What is the treatment for cerebral palsy in children?

Many children cannot live and study normally because of cerebral palsy, and their families are also very worried. So what are the treatments for cerebral palsy in children? In fact, children with cerebral palsy not only need to receive regular medical treatment in a timely manner, but also health care measures after treatment, especially rehabilitation training are also indispensable, so as to help children regain their confidence as soon as possible and return to a healthy life.

Head control: The prone position can be used to train the ability to lift the head. Method: Let the child lie on his stomach, hold a toy at the same height as his eyes, and raise it little by little to make the child look up at it. Lie prone for at least 30 minutes a day, preferably about 10 minutes after a meal.

Turning over and crawling method: let the child lie on the floor, pull his clothes from behind to help him turn his shoulders and turn over; let him lie on his stomach, put a bath towel on his chest, lift up both ends of the bath towel, keep his hands and knees on the ground, and move slowly along the floor with him while encouraging him; one person helps him move his arms, and the other helps to move his feet alternately, and help him crawl towards a certain goal.

Support the back to maintain a sitting posture: Sit up with the support of your arms, put the child's favorite items in front of him to attract his attention, so as to maintain a sitting posture for a longer period of time, gradually reduce support, and finally sit alone.

Pulling something to stand up: The adult can pull the cerebral palsy child by one hand, induce him to move from a seat to a double-legged position, and then let him stand up. When the child holds on to the crib rails, the parents put their hands under his arms to support him to stand, gradually reducing the amount of help and allowing him to maintain his balance by himself.

Walking: The key for children with cerebral palsy to learn to walk is to learn to move the center of gravity of the body. They should start by pulling their hands forward, gradually move to pulling one hand, and finally walk independently. They can also use a walking sling.

Going up and down stairs: Start by letting the child hold the railing with one hand and an adult's hand with the other to maintain balance. Gradually let him break away from the adult's support and rely on his own arm and leg strength to go up and down the stairs, two steps at a time. Older children should be encouraged to go up and down the stairs one step at a time, alternating between their feet. They can practice this to music.

I believe everyone is clear about the treatment methods for cerebral palsy in children. As long as family members can pay more attention to and accompany their children, give them help and encouragement, do rehabilitation training with their children, and overcome difficulties together, they can gradually return to normal life and have a happy childhood like normal children.
