Совершенствование реабилитационных мероприятий при спастических формах детского церебрального паралича

Abstract

Introduction. Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the leading causes of motor disability in children, with spastic forms accounting for up to 80% of cases. Modern rehabilitation combines classical methods (physical therapy, massage, physiotherapy) with innovative technologies — robotic systems, exoskeletons, and virtual reality — significantly enhancing therapy effectiveness and promoting neuroplasticity.

Objective. The analysis of modern rehabilitation methods for spastic CP revealed the effectiveness of a comprehensive approach combining physiotherapy, pharmacological treatment, orthopedic correction, and innovative technologies. The study results enabled the development of recommendations for individualization and optimization of rehabilitation programs to improve their accessibility and therapeutic efficiency.

Materials and Methods. This study analyzed both traditional and innovative rehabilitation methods for children with spastic CP, including physical therapy, massage, the Bobath method, robotic-assisted therapy, and virtual reality. Special attention was given to their impact on reducing spasticity, improving motor functions, and developing individualized therapeutic strategies.

Results. The integration of traditional and innovative rehabilitation methods for children with spastic CP leads to a significant reduction in spasticity, improved motor skills, and increased cognitive engagement. Robotic systems and virtual reality show high clinical effectiveness, especially when applied within an individualized approach.

Conclusion. Rehabilitation of children with spastic forms of CP requires a comprehensive and individualized approach involving both traditional methods (physical therapy, massage, Bobath technique) and innovative technologies. The use of robotic systems, virtual reality, and specialized programs substantially enhances the effectiveness of motor function recovery.
