Bandage for the rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy (cerebral palsy)

摘要

A device for the rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy (cerebral palsy) contains a sleeve / tube (1) made of elastic material, cuffs made of strips - Velcro (2). A common problem in the rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy is their incorrect posture while sitting on the floor. This situation is very convenient for patients, as it provides good stability. At the same time, the wrong position of the joints and the wrong work of the muscles develop - the movement and balancing of the body is carried out due to the support on the inside of the foot with the knee turned inward. The inverted position of the legs “knee inward” is fixed. The feet turn out with their socks outward and reinforce the negative changes in the work of the knee and hip joints. All these factors reduce the effectiveness of rehabilitation by the most popular methods. The proposed device for the rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy allows you to fix these shortcomings without significantly limiting the patient's mobility. The device is worn on the patient’s feet and fixed on the ankles with the help of cuffs from the strips - Velcro (2). Thus fixed on the patient’s legs, the device tends to stretch when moving. The effect of using the device is observed after the first months of use. 8 ill.
