What do you know about the signs and symptoms of a child with cerebral palsy?

The first is that the intelligence is relatively low, and the reaction is relatively slow, and at the same time, there is no way to make relevant reactions according to the words and deeds of others, and the ability to act is relatively poor, and sometimes it will drool.

Generally, there will be psychomotor retardation, emotional instability, quadriplegia, abnormal posture, increased muscle tone, weakness of the body, decreased movement, etc.

Signs and symptoms of children with cerebral palsy, I know mental retardation, speech impairment, orofacial dysfunction, epilepsy, visual defects.

If you have cerebral palsy, it is mainly a phenomenon of movement disorders, and it will also manifest as mood swings, easy crying, emotional fragility and other phenomena, which are related to the impaired brain function during cerebral palsy, and visual impairment when suffering from cerebral palsy, such as myopia, eye squint, etc. The most important thing is that it will be different from other normal children, and it will be very difficult to hit psychologically, so it is necessary to actively build the self-confidence of cerebral palsy patients in daily life.

Mental retardation, inability to complete some things independently, inability to express one's own opinions, poor balance, and inability to communicate with normal people are all typical symptoms of cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is very harmful to the body, and it can also affect a person's life, and it may also be inherited.

Typical symptoms of cerebral palsy are: perceptual impairment, mental retardation, impaired mobility due to muscle atrophy, epilepsy, abnormal mental behavior, and impaired language development.

There are five symptoms of cerebral palsy:

1. You can't raise your head in the prone position, and your head can't be upright when you pick it up.

Second, the hand clenched fist and the thumb are adducted, and the hand can not reach out to grasp the object, and there is a difference between the left and right sides of the control, and the upper limbs are stiff or stretched back when grasping the object, and the hands cannot be touched to the midline.

3. Strabismus, the eyes cannot be traced.

Fourth, it will not happen or only roll over.

5. When nervous, the upper limbs are flexed, the adduction hands are clenched into fists, the lower limbs are crossed and grown, or the head and back of the back of the head are arched.

Cerebral palsy generally occurs in infants and young children, and the main manifestation is motor development disorder. For example, if you don't look up when you should look up, you won't turn over when you should turn over, and your whole development is backward compared with children of the same age.

Another is cognitive impairment, poor response, no response to sound, and parallax, like the concept of color, these will be affected, and cognitive aspects will also be affected, intelligence is also complementary to it, like this trend in the development process, he can show thumb adduction, we call the prominent performance of cerebral cortex, the rest will not appear thumb adduction, often cerebral palsy children in April and May, the thumb is still tightly clenched in the fist can not be opened, Therefore, we usually pay more attention to this kind of child and participate in more of this kind of exercise.

The performance of children with cerebral palsy is not very obvious in the early stage, so parents must pay attention to the performance of children with cerebral palsy, and once the problem is found, they should go to the hospital for examination in time.

Manifestations of children with cerebral palsy:

1.Poor weight gain, weakness in lactation.

2.Unresponsiveness and unresponsiveness to name are early manifestations of mental retardation, which are generally considered to be unresponsive at 4 months and unresponsive to name at 6 months, and are considered to be diagnosed as mental retardation.

3.Fixed posture is often caused by abnormal muscle tone due to brain injury, such as angular arch reflexion, frog position, inverted U-shaped posture, etc. It can be seen in the first month of life.

4.Not smiling: If you can't smile for 2 months and can't laugh out loud for 4 months, mental retardation is diagnosed.

5.Hand clenched fist: if the thumb is not open after 4 months, or if the thumb is adducted, especially if one of the upper limbs is present, it is important to be diagnostic.

6.Inability to reach for objects: If you are unable to reach for 4-5 months, you may be diagnosed with mental retardation or cerebral palsy.

7.Strabismus: Strabismus and poor eye movements in infants aged 3 to 4 months may indicate the presence of brain injury.

8.Abnormal head circumference: Head circumference is an objective indicator of brain morphological development, and children with brain injury often have abnormal head circumference.

9.Stiffness, a symptom of hypertonia, can be seen as early as a month. If it persists for more than 4 months, cerebral palsy can be diagnosed.

10.Weakness and decreased spontaneous movements, symptoms of hypotonia, can be seen as early as one month. If it persists for more than 4 months, severe brain injury, mental retardation, or muscular disorders can be diagnosed.

Acupuncture and moxibustion acupuncture points (injection of the root of the meridians, the six positions, the distribution area of the meridians, the brain, etc.) can be treated.

Symptoms of cerebral palsy manifest in infancy, often with abnormal posture and delayed motor development. Although the child's brain damage or abnormal brain development is non-progressive, the clinical presentation often changes as the brain injury is repaired and developed. For example, severe neonatal ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy often presents with hypotonia in early infancy, which gradually changes to hypertonia.

Balance dysfunction does not manifest until the infant develops to sit or even stand. Secondary changes such as joint contractures and spinal deformities also develop gradually. It can be accompanied by epilepsy, mental retardation, sensory impairment, behavioral disorders, etc.

These concomitant conditions can sometimes also be the main disability in children with cerebral palsy.

Cerebral palsy is a syndrome dominated by limb movement disorders and postural abnormalities, and is a non-progressive central nervous system damage that can be accompanied by intellectual, hearing, vision, language and other impairments.

Regarding pediatric cerebral palsy, you can take a look at it on the China Encephalopathy Network.
