What are the early symptoms of cerebral palsy in children

summary

One of my colleagues' children was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. My colleague was very sad. He couldn't believe this fact and didn't accept it. But there was no way. That's the truth. At the beginning, they also found that the child was not right before they went to check. Who knows that it was this result, that is to say, I had a certain understanding of the early symptoms of children's cerebral palsy. Now I share this experience with you, hoping to help you.

What are the early symptoms of cerebral palsy in children

The first symptom is that cerebral palsy patients often have dancing, hand foot movement or other involuntary movements, such as dystonia, ataxia tremor, myoclonus and hemiplegia in a few months, one or several years after birth. Almost all cases of bilateral hand foot movement disorder have primary autonomic movement disorder, without pyramidal tract sign. It is difficult for infants and children with hand foot movement disorder The severity of the disease varies greatly. The abnormal movement of mild patients can be mistaken for restlessness, and the spontaneous movement of severe cerebral palsy can lead to violent involuntary movement.

Symptoms 2, individual cerebral palsy patients continue to progress in adolescence or early adulthood, should pay attention to and genetic metabolic or degenerative diseases, extrapyramidal diseases, etc., cerebral palsy patients early performance for low muscle tension, followed by motor development retardation, to three and five years old after can only stand up, but walking will be particularly slow, sometimes can't stand up, plantar reflex mostly flexion A few of them can receive higher level education. Some patients with cerebral palsy are mistaken for mental retardation because of motor and language disorders.

Symptoms three, cerebral palsy often manifested as decreased muscle tension, tendon reflex weakened, a few months later appeared obvious weakness and spasticity, lower limbs than the upper limbs, weakness first involved adductor muscle, tendon reflex active, cerebral palsy children's leg movement stiff clumsy, with both hands in the armpit to hold children without pedal action, still keep the leg original straight or flexion state, most children with cerebral palsy plantar reflex Children with cerebral palsy learn to walk late and show characteristic posture and gait. When they take small steps, they bend slightly and their legs are more rigid. The strength of adductor femoris is very strong, which makes their legs cross. When they take steps, they arc (cross gait). Their feet bend and adduct, and their heels can't touch the ground.

matters needing attention

Children with cerebral palsy can be treated by various methods when they are found early, but if they are found later, it will be more difficult to treat. Therefore, parents must take care of and observe their children and give them more care.
