What are the symptoms and reactions of children with cerebral palsy, and what are the main symptoms

Hello; The manifestations of cerebral palsy in children vary according to the difference of ** and classification, but they are more common in the early stage: (Early symptoms in the first half of the infant with cerebral palsy (within 6 months). ）

1.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.

2.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.

3.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.

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

5.Poor weight gain, weakness in lactation.

6.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.

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

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

9.Torsion of the body in infants aged 3 to 4 months often indicates an extrapyramidal injury.

10.Head instability: For example, the inability to raise the head when lying prone for 4 months or the inability to sit with the head upright is often an important sign of brain injury. 11.Strabismus: Strabismus and poor eye movements in infants aged 3 to 4 months may indicate the presence of brain injury.

12.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.

13.Fixation hand: Persists after 6 months and may be considered mentally retarded. Some brain injuries are mild and tend to be asymptomatic in early infancy, but in the second half of infancy (6-12 months).

Watch your child's performance to determine if he or she has cerebral palsy.

Because some novice parents do not know much about children with cerebral palsy, and the initial manifestations of cerebral palsy children are not very obvious, this leads to cerebral palsy children being easily ignored by parents. So, what are the symptoms of children with cerebral palsy?

Signs of cerebral palsy within 3 months: eyes do not follow what is in front of them, thumb adduction, hands clenched into fists, head unsteady, like to shake from side to side, neck can not be straightened, head is always tilted to one side, the whole body is stiff, etc.

Signs of cerebral palsy within 4-5 months: not paying attention to people, not having flexible eyes, dull expression, not responding when adults tease, body hardening, not turning over, body posture is always asymmetrical, etc.

Signs of cerebral palsy within 6-7 months: uncoordinated movements of the hands, mouth, and eyes, inability to grasp things for a long time, asymmetrical posture, unsteady sitting, dorsiflexion of the head, clenching fists with hands, and extending shoulders back.

Symptoms of cerebral palsy children within 8-12 months: unable to roll over, grasping things with one hand, clumsy hands and feet, unable to sit alone, standing on tiptoes, unable to walk, unable to stand with support, drooling is still severe, etc.

The symptoms of children with cerebral palsy are mainly manifested in four aspects:

1. Children with cerebral palsy have very little movement of their limbs, their hands will not take the initiative to grasp things, and the leg pushing action of the lower limbs and legs is relatively rare.

2. Motor development is relatively backward and delayed, children will raise their heads at 3 months, sit at 6 months, and walk at 1 year old. Children with cerebral palsy are significantly sluggish and significantly lag behind in exercise compared to their peers.

3. Abnormal posture, arms and legs like frog-shaped posture, like frogs on the same plane.

4. The muscle tone of the limbs is generally elevated. These four aspects are the most common clinical symptoms of children with cerebral palsy, which can be found through observation, early detection, and early treatment, so as to strive for a good prognosis.

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 mainly caused by damage to the immature stage of brain development from birth to early postnatal period, mainly limb movement disorders and postural abnormalities, and is a non-progressive central nervous system damage, which can be accompanied by intellectual, hearing, vision, language and other impairments.
