Children are not miniature adults. They must be evaluated and treated specifically, which requires both a good knowledge of childhood ailments and an excellent mastery of age-specific re-education and medical recovery techniques.
The correct assessment of the child from the first days after birth can reveal genetic, orthopedic, neurological or musculoskeletal conditions, which, identified and diagnosed early, can benefit from both specialist treatment and physiotherapeutic assistance, thus having a potential for recovery, especially through kinetotherapy.
The psychomotor development of the child provides information about delays due to the lack of certain acquisitions and establishes the priorities of the kinetotherapy treatment respecting an intellectual and motor timeline close to normal.
Kinetotherapy for children can be prophylactic, recuperative or corrective.
Kinetotherapy is based on a customized exercise program according to the condition and each individual patient and is a short or long-term therapy that must be applied with persistence until the full functional recovery is possible or desired. Moreover, it represents an individualized therapeutic form based on static and dynamic physical exercise programs and can be used in prophylactic, preventive, curative and recovery programs for various conditions.
The objectives of kinetotherapy as well as its duration are established according to the pathology, duration and severity of the symptoms since their onset. Combating pain, reducing inflammation, recovering muscle strength, joint mobility, balance or posture are the main goals of kinetotherapy.
