Pediatric rehabilitation is a non-surgical treatment programme for children with delayed motor development, cerebral palsy, neuromuscular disease, nerve or bone injuries, or recovery after an operation. Its aim is to improve movement, daily function and independence as far as possible, according to each child's condition.
A multidisciplinary team builds an individual plan for every child. It may include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and swallowing therapy, guided exercises, assistive devices and training for the family. Sessions are adapted to the child's age and are usually play-based, with no surgery or anaesthesia.
A session typically lasts from about half an hour to an hour and may be repeated several times a week, as the team decides. Improvement tends to appear gradually over weeks and months, and the final result differs from one child to another depending on the diagnosis and on how consistently the programme is followed. Progress is reviewed regularly and the plan is adjusted when needed.
