What are the symptoms of ankylosing cerebral palsy

summary

There are various clinical manifestations and symptoms of cerebral palsy in children. Because of the different types and damaged parts, the performance is different, even for the same patient, the performance is not the same in different age stages. Next, let me talk about the performance of children with ankylosing cerebral palsy!

What are the symptoms of ankylosing cerebral palsy

First, the development of movement is backward and the active movement is reduced. Among the symptoms of cerebral palsy in children, motor retardation is manifested in gross motor and (or) fine motor. There are many indexes to judge whether the motor development is backward or not, and the performance of each movement is different in different years (months), but some main indexes should be mastered in clinical application. Children with cerebral palsy in the neonatal period often show reduced movement, poor sucking ability and foraging response. The normal 3-month-old children often have kicking and pedaling in supine position, and the kicking is alternate. The kicking and kicking movements of children with cerebral palsy were significantly reduced, and there were few alternative movements. The upper limb activities of children aged 4-5 months were very flexible, and the upper limb activities of children with cerebral palsy were also reduced. Normal children have not formed right or left interest within one year old, while spastic cerebral palsy and hemiplegia often use only one hand to hold or touch things, and the activity of the other hand is reduced, and the hand is often clenched.

Second, abnormal muscle tone. Muscle tension is the tension of muscles in a quiet state. We can understand the muscle tension by passively flexing, straightening, pronating and supinating limbs. The baby can hold his forearm and shake his hand. According to the range of motion of his hand, he can know the muscle tension of his upper limb. The measurement of lower limb muscle tension can also hold the leg and swing the foot, and judge the tension according to the range of foot movement. When the tension is low, the range of hand foot swing is large when shaking the hand and foot, while when the tension is high, the range of motion is small.

Third, abnormal posture. There are many kinds of abnormal postures in children with cerebral palsy, which are related to abnormal muscle tone and delayed disappearance of primitive reflex. In the first year, they often lie quietly, almost no autonomic movement. In supine position, their posture is opposite to that of spastic type, showing lower limb flexion, hip abduction and ankle dorsiflexion. When the head is held upright, it can control the head in the middle position.

matters needing attention

Cerebral palsy is not an incurable disease. Timely treatment is the key after discovering that a child has cerebral palsy. However, there are many ways to treat cerebral palsy, including drug treatment and surgical treatment. No matter what kind of treatment, we must adhere to long-term rehabilitation training.
