What are the symptoms of cerebral palsy in children

I believe that many parents are not very clear about the symptoms of cerebral palsy in children. In fact, many diseases are caused by some minor illnesses in life that are not treated in time, leading to more serious diseases. Some cerebral palsy is caused by not reducing fever in time when a child has a fever. Diet is also very important. Some are caused by eating the wrong things when being sick. Parents should pay more attention to children’s lives. Here I will introduce to you the manifestations of cerebral palsy in children.

The incidence of cerebral palsy is increasing, especially in children. Cerebral palsy in children causes great harm to the children and requires active treatment. Discovering the early symptoms of cerebral palsy in children as soon as possible plays a significant role in the patient's recovery.

Some children walk like they are drunk, lifting their feet slowly, raising their lower limbs very high, landing very heavily, and swaying from side to side. This is more serious when they close their eyes. This may be caused by cerebellar lesions and is called ataxia-imbalance type cerebral palsy in children.

Among children with cerebral palsy, some squeeze their thighs very tightly together when learning to walk, cross their legs in a scissors-like step, and walk with great effort, often stepping on the instep of their front foot. The time it takes for these children to learn to walk is significantly delayed. For such children, they should go to the hospital for cerebral palsy rehabilitation treatment as soon as possible. Some children have one strong leg and the other weak when they walk. In this case, you need to pay attention to whether the upper limb on the weak leg is also weak. If this is the case, it is called hemiplegia, and it may be hemiplegic cerebral palsy in children.

Hand-gripping: If the hand cannot be opened at 4 months, or the thumb is retracted, especially on one upper limb, it has important diagnostic significance.

Head instability: If a 4-month-old baby cannot lift his head when lying on his stomach or cannot sit upright, it is often an important sign of brain damage.

Children with cerebral palsy also have abnormal postures such as choreiform athetosis. The posture of children with cerebral palsy is manifested as involuntary movements, which are often in the form of dancing or twisting, and are found uninterruptedly. The movement appearance appears straight and loose, with large amplitude and uncontrollable.
