CHILDRENS ORTHOPEDIC KINETOTHERAPY

Physical therapy in orthopedic conditions of children

After a musculoskeletal evaluation, we set short, medium and long term goals, then the exercise program.

Recovery of orthopedic diseases concerns deviations of the spine (scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis), chest deformities, postural and congenital torticollis, plagiocephaly / scaffolds / brachycephaly, deviations of the limbs, especially of the lower limbs (genu varum, genu valgum, genu recurvatum, genu flexum), those of the foot (metatarsus adductus, varus foot, talus valgus, flat and hollow foot, etc.), as well as those of the hips (coxa antetorsa, coxa retrorsa, coxa vara, coxa valga, pelvic deformities, hip dysplasia etc).

In establishing recovery programs, a number of general and local factors are taken into account.

General factors:

• type and specificity of the deficiency: draws the first general milestones of the programs;
• the duration of illness and recovery;
• the patient's age;
• general physical capacity.

• the purpose of recovery;
• the morpho-functional characteristics of the segment concerned.

The results of the recovery programs are periodically tested by evaluation methods specific to the kinetotherapy, the most accessible being the articular and the muscular bilate.
