Clinical manifestations of pediatric hemiplegia
Typical clinical symptoms of pediatric hemiplegia: poor coordination of upper and lower limbs on one side, weakness of upper and lower limbs, inability to use chopsticks, inability to do fine movements, and unstable walking of lower limbs.

Factors that cause hemiplegia
- Gender;

- Abnormal visual development.
What is the reason why the baby always grasps objects with his right hand, and his left hand is basically not moving?
The baby's long-term use of the right hand and the fist of the left hand are because the original pattern of shoulder girdle receding and elbow flexion remains in the left hand, which will gradually form asymmetry between the hands and upper limbs.
How to train your baby to grasp with his left hand at home?
You can use toys, foods, etc. that your baby likes to guide your baby to use your left hand to actively lift, abduct, and adduct, while also practicing grasping and playing with both hands.
