Cause of Athetoid Cerebral Palsy
Athetoid cerebral palsy is usually caused by damage to the basal ganglia, located in the midbrain, in the form of lesions that occur during brain development due to bilirubin encephalopathy and hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.
Symptoms of Athetoid Cerebral Palsy
What's the best treatment for athetoid cerebral palsy? Patients affected with athetoid cerebral palsy usually suffer from a mixed muscle tone, some of which are too high (hypertonia) and others too low (hypotonia) due to the affected individual's inability to control muscle tone. About 15% of patients with cerebral palsy are affected by athetoid cerebral palsy. Usually the patients will suffer from more severe affected upper limbs than lower limbs, besides, they also have speaking problem, so they can't live independently compared with other types of cerebral palsy. But their intelligence usually remain normal.
People with athetoid cerebral palsy are usually difficult to hold onto something, such as a cup, due to the mixed tone of muscles. Athetoid cerebral palsy can also make patients more difficult to use their hands to a certain place, or concentrate on it, such as the finger to finger test.
What's The Best Treatment for Athetoid Cerebral Palsy?
Stem cell treatment is the most state-of-the-art therapy currently in the world to treat cerebral palsy. As we have known, athetoid cerebral palsy is a central neural system injury caused by damage to the basal ganglia in the brain. Conventional therapies, like medicine, rehabilitation, physiotherapies can't cross the blood-brain barrier and achieve few effects. However, stem cell treatment, as the best regeneration medicine, can repair the injured cerebral cells, improve cerebral neural function and enhance the motor function, including the relief of dystonia.
