How does infantile cerebral palsy check

summary

My child didn't find any abnormality when he was born, but after a few months, he felt that something was wrong. Later, he went to the hospital for examination and was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Let's take a look at how to check for cerebral palsy in children.

How does infantile cerebral palsy check

First of all: grasp reflex: the examiner in the direction of children's lower limbs, called children to grasp the examiner's thumb on both sides. Children with cerebral palsy hold on to their thumbs and lift their upper body. In normal infants, the thumb was relaxed before the upper body was raised. From this point, we can preliminarily judge whether children have cerebral palsy.

Secondly: sitting position: children of the same age can sit steadily or with a little help, while children with cerebral palsy are unstable and their upper limbs don't move freely. If you gently push your head to the rear, the normal child will take a defensive posture, while the cerebral palsy child will fall down.

Finally: Kicking reflex: in the supine position of children, when the examiner presses the knee of children with cerebral palsy with one hand, the other lower limb will do kicking movement, but normal children can't see this movement. Step reflexes: the examinee holds the child in an upright position under the armpits on both sides. In normal childhood, the lower limbs are slightly widened and the sole of the foot is standing on the ground. Children with cerebral palsy stand on the tip of their feet and cross their lower limbs on one side, like stepping consciously.
