Every child is a treasure of the family, and parents attach great importance to their children's healthy growth. As the saying goes, children will turn over at three months, sit and stand at six months, and start crawling at nine months.

So, can children with cerebral palsy sit?
Can children with cerebral palsy sit
Children with cerebral palsy may experience significantly delayed motor development compared to normal children, and are unable to sit or stand. The most common manifestation of this condition is the movement of one limb while the other limb is inactive, and there is a noticeable asymmetry between the left and right limbs. Children who exhibit this posture show increased muscle tone in their limbs and head dorsiflexion. So generally speaking, children with cerebral palsy are not allowed to sit. If parents find that their children cannot sit upright, they should take them to the hospital for examination in a timely manner.
What are the symptoms of cerebral palsy in children
The symptoms of children with cerebral palsy mainly manifest as slow movement and a drunken gait, which means that children with cerebral palsy often cannot maintain a fixed posture on their own. For example, if they stand upright, they must constantly adjust in order to maintain their standing posture. Children with cerebral palsy cannot sit down on their own.
Children with cerebral palsy also have the following symptoms, such as the phenomenon of clenching fists tightly in their hands after 2 months, and there is no obvious posture abnormality when they are quiet. However, when the examiner suddenly holds the child's armpit and implants their sole, it can be found that the child's lower limbs are adducted and crossed, and both upper limbs are adducted and rotated. Children with cerebral palsy have much slower development than normal children. Parents need to pay attention to observation.
Many parents have encountered situations where their children are still unable to sit and stand at six months old, which is basically an abnormal manifestation. Can children with cerebral palsy sit? Children with cerebral palsy cannot sit up straight at six months old. If this situation occurs, it is recommended that parents take their children for medical treatment in a timely manner. In addition, they should not have too much psychological burden and provide positive care to their children.
