Paediatric Physiotherapy

The aim of the Physiotherapy in the disease of Neuromusculoskeletal system, following birth trauma or head injury, associated developmental disability or acquired musculoskeletal problem or disease is to enable the individuals to function as effectively as possible in everyday life. The physiotherapist regain effectively motor performances in at least essential everyday activities such as head control, rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, walking and play.

There are various specialized techniques for specific motor problems to initiate dormant motor activity, intensify correction and training of motor activity.

Physiotherapist assesses the child's developmental stages in feeding and other self care, play or sensory motor understanding and in exploration of his world is observed by the physiotherapist to introduce the corrective motor patterns appropriately.

We include different training and treatment techniques such as:-

(1)  Vestibular stimulation techniques.

(2)  Neurodevelopment techniques.

(3)  Reflex Inhibiting Patterns.

(4) Play therapy.

[1]  Vestibular stimulation techniques :- All the postural reactions are dependent on these stimuli in a developmental context.

[2]  Body Image training is also stimulation of proprioception and vestibular input for the visually impaired child.

[3]  Abnormal postures caused by persistence of the primitive reflexes (which have not interrogated at the right age) may lead to deformities and disability. This could be overcome by Reflex Inhibility Postures

[4]  Neurodevelopment training includes techniques for facilitation of all the developmental sequences and milestones as early as possible and helps prevent disability.
