·Changes in cơ tone, such as being too stiff or too loose.

·cơ stiffness but normal reflexes, called rigidity.

·Lack of balance and cơ coordination is called ataxia.

Before birth

·Damage to parts of the white matter of the brain, which may be caused by a reduced blood or oxygen supply, is known as periventricular leukomalacia (PVL). Learn more about periventricular leukomalacia from Scope.

·Infections during pregnancy, such as cytomegalovirus, rubella (German measles), chickenpox, or toxoplasmosis

·đột quỵ: bleeding in the fetal brain or cutting off the blood supply to the brain

·Head chấn thương to the fetus

 

At birth/ after birth

·Temporary lack of oxygen to the brain during a difficult birth (asphyxia)

·A brain infection, such as meningitis

·A severe head chấn thương

·Suffocation or near-drowning, which deprives the brain of oxygen

·Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)

·đột quỵ

 

Increased risk

 

·Premature birth (before 37 weeks of pregnancy): babies born at 32 weeks of pregnancy or earlier are at particularly high risk of developing this condition.

·Having a low birth weight

điều trị for liệt não

The main treatments for liệt não are medications, liệu pháp, and surgery. The goal of liệt não điều trị is to kiểm soát symptoms, relieve đau, and maximize independence for a long and healthy life. liệt não điều trị is tailored to each person's specific symptoms.

When a child begins vật lý trị liệu, the physical nhà trị liệu will first assess their vận động skills and overall khả năng vận động to determine the best điều trị plan. The physical nhà trị liệu then develops a điều trị plan based on the child's needs, which includes strength training, stretching, and cơ relaxation techniques.

Exercise equipment used during vật lý trị liệu includes weights, resistance bands, balance balls, and machines that cải thiện cơ tone. Hot and cold packs are often used to help relax and heal các cơ.

The goal of the physical nhà trị liệu is to treat symptoms as quickly as possible to avoid painful future complications such as scoliosis and contractures (shortening of tendons and các cơ common in spastic liệt não). Strength training is helpful for children with dyskinetic liệt não who have cơ relaxation and hypotonia.
