Neuromusculoskeletal Rehabilitation Center Treating Children In Pain

Neuromusculoskeletal Rehabilitation for Pediatric Patients

Dr. Deepak Charan, an orthopedic surgeon and rehabilitation specialist, oversees a network of clinics across India that specialize in neuromusculoskeletal rehabilitation. In a recent study conducted at their primary rehabilitation center, 36 patients were treated for pain using coMra therapy. The patient cohort, ranging from 4 to 23 years of age, presented with conditions including cerebral palsy, clubfoot, spina bifida, and myofascial pain syndrome.

Treatment Methodology and Protocol

The duration of the coMra therapy treatment varied from one to four weeks, depending on the severity of the individual’s condition. Many of these patients undergo surgical interventions – such as tendon releases and bone ossification procedures – performed in a single session. Following surgery, the children are placed in casts.

According to the physiotherapists at the center, the post-surgical rehabilitation protocol is extensive. The application of the coMra Delta begins immediately upon the removal of the cast, as this is the period when the children experience the most significant pain. The treatment utilizes various settings on the coMra Delta to address the specific needs of the patient during the recovery phases.

Clinical Outcomes

The results across all 36 cases were highly positive. The application of coMra therapy led to: * Reduced pain levels * Decreased swelling * Reduced muscle stiffness and tightness * Increased range of motion * Decreased hypersensitivity

To measure the efficacy of the treatment, the clinical team utilized the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), a standard 0-to-10 pain assessment tool. All patients demonstrated a significant reduction in pain scores throughout the various phases of the rehabilitation program.

Conclusion

The findings from this study conclude that coMra therapy serves as a highly effective adjunct to standard rehabilitation programs for pediatric patients, particularly those recovering from surgeries related to cerebral palsy, as well as those managing non-surgical neuromusculoskeletal conditions. By integrating coMra therapy into the post-cast removal phase, the center has successfully improved recovery outcomes and quality of life for their patients.
