be safe

Children with cerebral palsy have developmental delays, and their development of various motor skills is slower than that of healthy children of the same period, making them unable to move around easily. Therefore, there should be someone dedicated to guard it. Pay attention to safety to avoid accidental injuries.

Cleanliness and hygiene

Maintain good hygiene for children with cerebral palsy, bathe them regularly, and change their clothes, bed sheets, quilts, etc. in a timely manner. Daily care for children with cerebral palsy requires extremely strict cleanliness, which parents cannot ignore.

Functional Training

The brain lesions in paralyzed children are static, but the resulting neurological deficits are not always fixed. Without proper early treatment, abnormal posture and movement patterns will become fixed, causing tendon contractures, bone and joint deformities, and further aggravating intellectual disability. Infants and young children have great brain plasticity and strong compensatory abilities, and if rehabilitation treatment measures are appropriate, the best results can be achieved. The paralyzed limbs should be kept in a functional position, and passive or active movements should be performed to promote muscle and joint activity and improve muscle tone. It can also be combined with massage, acupuncture and physical therapy. For those with severe limb deformities, surgical correction can be considered after the age of 5. Children with language disorders should be trained according to the rules of normal language development in children. In particular, the age of 0 to 6 is the critical period for learning language. Children should be given rich language stimulation, encouraged to speak, correct voice abnormalities, and receive persistent language training to enhance their ability to adapt to social life.

Now we have to be strong and powerful, and take care of your children like a superman. We should go to the hospital regularly for relevant detailed examinations when conditions permit, and carry out treatment according to the doctor's instructions. Both guardians and patients must maintain a positive attitude.
