Treatment with orthoses and other aids
In addition to medical and physiotherapy treatment, orthopedic care in the form of orthoses (braces) plays an important role in the treatment of ICP.
Orthoses protect and correct the musculoskeletal system. They also act as support pillars that hold the result achieved by surgical or conservative treatment. As a result, they promote mobility and independence and thus participation in daily life.
Orthotic treatment for children with ICP is also used to:
• Improve impaired motor functions
• Correct poorly aligned joints
• Regulate muscle tone
• Protect vulnerable regions
• Prevent or delay onset of deformities
• Improve cosmesis
