Physiotherapy For Specially Abled Kids
Uniquely able kids function at a different pace than other children. They often struggle with daily activities and selective physical movements. Physiotherapy is for them to correct those movements by strengthening their muscles and improving body parts coordination, flexibility and posture.
A paediatric physiotherapist will identify the motor skill deficiencies and look for other chronic conditions in children before starting the therapy.
What Can You Expect From Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy may involve a lot of physical activities and exercises. Each of them has a significant purpose that would benefit the child facing a particular mobility issue. Some of them are listed below.
- Passive Stretching
- Manual Stretching
- Aerobics
- Weight Bearing
- Breathing exercises
- Agility training
- Endurance and strength related exercises
All the techniques used in physiotherapy are scientifically proven. Three standard treatment approaches are embraced in physiotherapy.
Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT):
NDT focuses on the problems that arise from a malfunctioning central nervous system (CNS). Children who have trouble controlling their movements due to neuromuscular disorders like cerebral palsy benefit from NDT. Joint and limb deformities, muscle contractures and other secondary impairments are prevented through this approach.
Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT):
It consists of a group of interventions to reduce the impact of a stroke or neurological defect on the weaker limb. The child may have a preferred limb for movement as the other one causes discomfort. CIMT approach encourages using the bad limb by repeated practice and restricting the preferred one. Exercises are planned and executed by positive reinforcement.
Patterning
Patterning is premised on the notion that an infant’s or child’s development follows a well-defined path, with the inability to complete one stage of development causing suppression in the development of later stages. Patterning focuses on those suppressed areas that may involve intellectual disabilities and cognitive disorders.
