What is the treatment of patient of cerebral palsy?

Question

I have a child aged 5 years and 6 months. The doctor says that he had a damage at the time of birth due to delayed supply of oxygen at the time of birth. At present he is having a physical deficiency as he cannot stand on his legs. He has squint in his right eye. His right hand is somewhat less active as compared to left one. He also experiences convulsions at irregular intervals. What should be a proper treatment for him. How we should behave with him ?

Answer 1

Is your doctor aware of all of these symptoms? If not, make sure they are totally informed.

OK, as far as your personal interaction with your son. Treat him like any five year old boy. Find subtle ways of exercising any muscle groups that you feel are weak, like his right hand. Get him to color pictures with you or build with blocks, whatever he enjoys that involves the muscle groups that concern you. You can be his physical therapist without him even knowing that you're doing it. Keep it fun. Even if it's something that he struggles with, make sure to make it fun for him and keep at it.

Answer 2

Cerebral palsy can’t be cured, but treatment will often improve a child's capabilities. Many children go on to enjoy near-normal adult lives if their disabilities are properly managed. In general, the earlier treatment begins the better chance children have of overcoming developmental disabilities or learning new ways to accomplish the tasks that challenge them. Treatment may include physical and occupational therapy, speech therapy, drugs to control seizures, relax muscle spasms, and alleviate pain; surgery to correct anatomical abnormalities or release tight muscles; braces and other orthotic devices; wheelchairs and rolling walkers; and communication aids such as computers with attached voice synthesizers.

What is cerebral palsy?
Cerebral means having to do with the brain. Palsy means weakness or problems with using the muscles. Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that affect a person's ability to move and keep their balance and posture as a result of an injury to parts of the brain, or as a result of a problem with development. Often the problem happens before birth or soon after being born. Cerebral palsy causes different types of disabilities in each child. A child may simply be a little clumsy or awkward, or unable to walk at all.

What are some of the signs of cerebral palsy?
The signs of cerebral palsy vary greatly because there are many different types and levels of disability. The main sign that your child might have cerebral palsy is a delay reaching the motor or movement milestones. If you see any of these signs, call your child's doctor or nurse.

have difficulty controlling head when picked up
have stiff legs that cross or "scissor" when picked up
A child over 6 months with cerebral palsy might:

What causes cerebral palsy?
Cerebral palsy is caused by a problem in the brain that affects a child's ability to control his or her muscles. Problems in different parts of the brain cause problems in different parts of the body. There are many possible causes of problems, such as genetic conditions, problems with the blood supply to the brain before birth, infections, bleeding in the brain, lack of oxygen, severe jaundice, and head injury.

What can I do if I think my child might have cerebral palsy?
If you or your doctor have concerns about cerebral palsy, you can seek the help of a specialist such as a developmental pediatrician or child neurologist, and you can contact your local early intervention agency (for children under 3) or public school (for children 3 and older). To find out who to speak to in your area, you can contact the National Dissemination Center for Children with Disabilities by logging on to http://www.nichcy.org/ or calling 1-800-695-0285. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has links to information for families (www.cdc.gov/ncbddd).

To help your child reach his or her full potential, it is very important to get help for him or her as early as possible!
