Intervallrehabilitation mit häuslichem Training bei Kindern mit Zerebralparese

摘要

Background The goal of rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy (CP) is to reduce sequelae and enhance function. Physiotherapy is a rehabilitative strategy for the treatment of patients with CP, but with little supporting evidence for the different treatment concepts. The Cologne Concept “Auf die Beine” combines interval rehabilitation with short and intensive in-patient stays with 6-month home-based whole body vibration training. In this article, we present gross motor function results after 6 months of training and an additional 6 months of follow-up.
