Das Kind mit einer infantilen Cerebralparese in der Hilfsmittelversorgung - Wie bekommt man ein vollständiges Bild?

Zusammenfassung: According to international and national legal norms an individual right to participate in community life as well as to ensure personal mobility is accepted. CP-children, especially when they are non ambulant, are greatly aggrieved in this. It will be shown in which way concerned children benefit from mobility aids.

Zusammenfassung: For the management of children with cerebral palsy (CP) a team is necessary since there are different treatment aspects during the development of the child. With age there are both operative and conservative treatment options. For the conservative treatment, orthoses, Botulinum-toxin and casts are used. The surgical options vary with the degree of involvement. In mild cases only isolated calf muscle lengthenings are needed whereas in more severe cases multi-level soft tissue procedures often including bony procedures are indicated. In every case an interdisciplinary postoperative management is required. The gross motor function classification scale (GMFCS) hereby serves as a reliable tool for treatment planning and control.

Zusammenfassung: This presentation will demonstrate how the framework of the ICF-CY allows to describe the functioning and the needs of children with cerebral palsy and how this can be used to communicate with the different stakeholders in order to provide the best fit between patients/family needs and the assistive devices that are chosen.

Zusammenfassung: There are many appearances of Patients with Cerebral Palsy (CP). Therefore a wide bandwidth of orthosis is needed that fits to the different requirements. An overview of these concepts will be shown by taking the issues into account that have to be included into the design of the orthotic treatment.
