How is cerebral palsy diagnosed

summary

Recently, my cousin has some abnormal performance, which will give people a feeling of mental retardation. I heard that he may have cerebral palsy, so I want to go to the hospital for specific examination to see if it is true. Next, let me talk about how to diagnose cerebral palsy.

How is cerebral palsy diagnosed

First, Peabody motor development scale. The table is suitable for motor function evaluation of motor retardation and cerebral palsy. Because of the slow progress in some aspects of the motor ability of children with cerebral palsy, the motor development quotient will decline with the actual age, so the development age is used to reflect the changes of children.

Second: imaging examination. Imaging examination can provide the evidence of cerebral pathological changes, and play an auxiliary role in the diagnosis and prognosis of cerebral palsy. It can easily find paraventricular leukomalacia, intracranial hemorrhage and other lesions.

Third: gross motor function assessment. The scale can sensitively reflect the effect of rehabilitation, and is suitable for the assessment of gross motor, the establishment of rehabilitation goals and the monitoring of rehabilitation effect in children with cerebral palsy. However, considering that there is no norm established according to age, it is impossible to evaluate the level of motor development.

matters needing attention

I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of cerebral palsy. As far as its examination is concerned, the examination methods of cerebral palsy patients are diverse. The above is just a brief introduction to three kinds of diseases. It is suggested to go to regular hospitals for scientific diagnosis.
