REHABILITATION OF CEREBRAL PALSY
A multidisciplinary program that combines physical and rehabilitation medicine doctors, functional specialists, state-of-the-art robotic and physical medicine technologies to provide rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy.
Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive motor dysfunction caused by damage to the brain of a foetus or a child.
During rehabilitation, the following measures are being taken: assessment and documentation of the child’s clinical condition and functional disorders, complication prevention, spasticity management, individual rehabilitation plan development, improvement of motor functions, education of the patient and his/her parents, social integration, adaptation of assistive devices, providing recommendations and inclusion in the dynamic monitoring register.
Target group:
Children with functional disorders under the age of 18 who are medically stable and whose potential and motivation for medical rehabilitation are assessed as sufficient.
The rehabilitation program objectives:
According to an individually developed medical rehabilitation plan.
ROBOTIC TECHNOLOGIES USED DURING THERAPY
Interactive surface for far-reaching therapy MYRO is an interactive therapy surface. MYRO sensors allow daily training of motor skills with real objects on a responding surface. Myro responds not only to movement but also to pressure. Graphomotor therapy approaches can be implemented flexibly and independently of auxiliary materials. Spatial research elements create more opportunities for cognitive therapy.
THERA-Trainer balo is suitable for patients with congenital or acquired limitations or loss of ability to stand. THERA-Trainer balo allows the patient to rise safely from the wheelchair, with or without the help of others, depending on the situation. The THERA-Trainer balo device is suitable for patients with impaired balance and coordination when standing.
