It causes huge spire, economic burden for patients, families and society. With the development of perinatology, the mortality of neonates has decreased dramatically, but the morbidity of CP has shown rising trend. Therefore the treatment of CP has become the hot and hard spot for each national scientific research. At present the treatment of CP includes: medicine, operation, rehabilitation and other measurements. The main principle is detecting and treating in time. The prompt, long-term and regular rehabilitation training is the most fundamental measurement for the treatment of CP. The surgical, medical and other measurements can only create the condition for rehabilitation training or as supplementary method, but it can't substitute the rehabilitation training.
