What is the best way to treat cerebral palsy in children?

The arrival of a new life is a very important and meaningful event for a family, and the health of the new life also concerns every family. Some fetuses suffer from cerebral palsy due to maternal or congenital factors. Cerebral palsy not only affects children's lives but also their mental health. So how to treat cerebral palsy in children? What are some good methods?

For those whose head is tilted backward, press down on their shoulders and help their head lean forward. For a sitting child with his head back, place his upper arms forward, press his chest to tilt his head forward, and place his lower limbs on your open knees to flex his hips.

For those who cannot lift their heads, their heads will droop backwards when they are pulled up from a supine position. You should hold their shoulders and lift them up slowly. Turning his head to one side as you lift him up will help him to lift his head forward.

Place a small pillow under his chest, or roll up a towel and let him lie prone on it. Use sounds to tease him so that he can raise his head little by little, and gradually increase the time he can hold the position.

Turning over is mainly accomplished by straightening the head forcefully, supporting the elbows and twisting the body fully. Make the child lie on his back or side on a large towel, large bath towel, or hammock, and tilt him or her to turn over.

Lie on your back and fully flex one knee toward the opposite side, or extend your upper limb toward the opposite side until you can turn over. For children with limb tension, first lift their buttocks off the ground, hold their hands and feet and roll them into a ball, then roll from one side to the other. Relax their body and allow them to roll left and right. Train him to roll over from a side-lying position, move his legs, and twist his body. While holding the forearm, encourage him to turn his head and forearm around.

To train children's support reactions in all directions, you can gently support the knees from behind, and swing them forward, backward, left and right to keep the body balanced. And train the heel to move and stand firmly with the heel on the ground. When practicing standing balance, keep your center of gravity on your heels when moving forward and lift your toes when moving backward to maintain balance. When taking a step, the body weight shifts to one foot first, disrupting the balance and allowing the other foot to take a step forward. So you must first prepare one leg to bear your weight, move your center of gravity forward, and step out with the other foot at the same time. Practice repeatedly while walking, and also train yourself to step sideways and backward.

In order to obtain a good pattern, crutches or a walker may be used to assist walking. When walking, you should walk slowly, step by step, and set your target at 2-3 meters. This can prevent falls or poor posture. A． Train walking with a proper walker; once you are walking in this position, you can switch to crutches. B. An ill-fitting walker can cause children to walk in an incorrect manner and, although it can help heavier older children move, it does not help them make progress. C. Walking with crutches: Crutches can help spastic children walk long distances, but using crutches too early will cause the body to bend. The length of the crutches and the height at which they are held should be determined according to the doctor's instructions.

The above are some of the better methods for treating cerebral palsy in children. I hope that families troubled by this problem can find useful and valuable content from them. Of course, the clinical manifestations or causes of each child with cerebral palsy will not be exactly the same. Therefore, for every child with cerebral palsy, it is necessary to understand his causes and symptoms before receiving treatment.
