Baby to 1 for a long time, is still not much effect, appears standing foot when tip is also a, left foot followed and so on. At this time, family atmosphere becomes tense.
Doctor in baby not a calcium deficiency, but suffering from cerebral palsy!
The cause
Cerebral palsy, was pointed out that living within 1 month after the birth, a variety of reasons leading to brain damage and brain development of defects. As muscle accept brain to normal instructions and become frontier hard or soft, baby not voluntary movement, but the muscle itself is not paralysed. Lesions in the brain actually, it is referred to as cerebral palsy.
Risk factors of cerebral palsy caused by
Prenatal factors
Intrauterine growth retardation; brain malformation; placental dysfunction; intrauterine infection; physical chemistry of pregnant women affected by injury, and so on.
Intrapartum factors
Baby at birth asphyxia, birth trauma,; delivery conditions are poor, cause the baby\'s umbilical infection, then nuclear Huang Ju is thrown.
The neonatal period
Complications of preterm low birth weight babies and infants; neonatal encephalopathy; infection of central nervous system; such as traumatic brain injury.
Performance
1. development of backward, active movement to reduce.
Exercise capacity is lower than the same age normal babies, poor exercise self-control. Light, only hands, feet is not flexible or clumsy. Serious you cannot look up, stand up, sit, stand, walk, limb motor development lag behind, autonomous movement difficulties, stiff, uncoordinated and asymmetrical, abnormal movement patterns and involuntary movements.
2. abnormal muscular tension
Motion gradually increased muscle tension, hands and feet of involuntary tic, tetanus, and so on. Low muscular tension, often other types of cerebral palsy in a transitional form of a certain age.
3. abnormal posture
With abnormal muscle tone and original reflection delay disappear, finger flexion of clenched fist. Foot tip when standing, walking foot, scissors-like gait.
4. Reflection exceptions
Often delayed manifestations such as feeding, sucking the original reflection disappear, embrace those protective reflection weaken or delay arising. But active or spastic baby deep reflection with hyperthyroidism.
In addition, you often have mental retardation, such as sight, hearing, language, emotional disorders.
Early how to find
To find the baby normal motor development of law, there are formulas put into verse as: three picked up four through six, seven rolling eight weeks will go climbing;
If the baby is the following conditions, is wary of cerebral palsy might:
· Above age, cannot be reached the same age your baby\'s normal motor development level;
· Cause risk factors for cerebral palsy;
· Abnormal posture and gait;
· Abnormal muscular tension, tendon hyperreflexia;
· Original reflection (such as embrace reflex) persist.
