Physical adaptation service within the Ortopediatri Pediatric Orthopedic Academy prepares the rehabilitation protocols for the families and physiotherapists of our children in the early postoperative period. The aim of this service is to prevent long-term immobilization after the surgery and to ensure that the child continues the general rehabilitation program as soon as possible. This process is especially important in children with cerebral palsy.
It is not possible to prescribe a standard rehabilitation program as the children have neurological, developmental, physical, social and psychological differences. Considering this situation, a protocol is prepared for each child after the operations.
The early post-operative rehabilitation protocol is a program implemented within the first 6 or 8 weeks.
