We should pay more attention to the early intervention and rehabilitation training methods for premature infants, which will help them grow up healthily like normal babies. Then, let's take a look at the early intervention and rehabilitation training methods for premature infants.
Early intervention and rehabilitation training methods for premature infants 1 The life of premature infants is hard enough, and it is the greatest comfort for parents to survive. Premature infants may have mental retardation, epilepsy or visual impairment, so early intervention is needed to make premature infants live happily like normal full-term infants. Early intervention is to bring babies whose development deviates from normal back to normal track through rich educational activities, so that their intelligence, language or behavior are the same as those of normal children, and even catch up with normal children.
Early education also belongs to general early intervention in the future. Cultivate the baby's perception, language, behavior and communication skills from an early age, such as playing games with the baby, so that the 6-month-old premature baby can start early education. You can give it to an early education institution or your mother for personal education, and often take your baby to museums, concerts or art galleries, so that your baby can get visual and auditory exercises.
Exercise your baby's language and sports ability by playing games. For example, using toys and food to lure babies to learn to walk requires the cooperation of parents. Dad helped our baby walk to the toy held by his mother and took it away. It's that simple. In the process of walking, dad can pick up the baby from time to time and fly with him, which increases the fun of the game.
Play with other babies. Let them play with toys or play games together. When the baby is about 1 year old, maybe the babies will fight with each other for toys to enhance the baby's mobility.
Listen to foreign songs for the baby. The baby's hearing is more sensitive when he is 6 months old. During this period, you can listen to English songs for your baby, so that your baby can be influenced by foreign languages from an early age.
Early intervention and rehabilitation training methods for premature infants. Head control training.
Learning to look up during the baby's development is the main prerequisite for learning other activities. When training, you can hold the sides of the child's head to keep the head in an upright middle position. When sitting most of the time, when the head is used to keeping the correct posture, the child's trunk can lean forward and both sides can tilt, which can let him learn to control his head and keep his head stable.
2. Functional training of upper limbs and hands
It is best to do it in a stable posture, with the focus on correcting the spastic pattern of upper limbs in children with cerebral palsy. You can hold the outside of the child's elbow with one hand, and hold the child's hand with the other hand to lift and abduct the arm. Turn your shoulders outward, elbows straight, palms up. Encourage children to put their hands on their chests, play with their fingers and grab toys of different shapes and colors.
3, lower limb exercise
A. Walk barefoot in front of the gymnastics mirror, or walk on two parallel lines on the ground.
B, squat exercise, jumping exercise, one-legged standing exercise, knee flexion and extension exercise, instep extension exercise.
C. Exercise and walk on the balance beam. Some types of patients need the help of their families or exercise with lower limb braces.
D. Drooling people do 100 swallowing exercises every day. People with language barriers practice speaking from the simplest sentences, paying special attention to practicing singing loudly with the help of music. Learning to practice singing for cerebral palsy patients can really improve their language and intelligence.
4. Diet training
Children should be encouraged to eat independently, which is very beneficial to improve the dexterity of their hands and the motor ability of their upper limbs. For children with good swallowing function, it is best to take sitting and eating training. Children with poor hand grasping ability can eat with assistive devices.
Step 5 undress training
The purpose of this training is to let children gradually put on and take off their clothes and improve their self-care ability.
6. Balance and coordinate sports training
Balance ability and coordination are the premise of sports stability. You can use balance boards, balls, rollers and other instruments for training. Through training, children can adjust their posture in time, improve their reaction ability, control their head, neck and trunk, and balance their movements.
In the rehabilitation training for children, parents should be patient, children should be attentive (cooperative), doctors should be firm, and children's rehabilitation is just around the corner. Parents should use language guidance, because the information feedback of children with cerebral palsy is slow. A lot of time has proved that it is obvious for parents to stimulate with language while training, and it can also improve children's language and intelligence.
