Beneficios del uso de bipedestadores en niños con parálisis cerebral espástica como tratamiento complementario.

Abstract

The lack of normal movement in children with infantile cerebral palsy impedes the development and correct functioning of the systems of the organism. Delayed standing, lack of muscle balance in the muscles around the hip and reduced range of motion of the adductor muscles with growth is typical in children with spastic CP. Currently, physiotherapy relies on the benefits these patients obtain from reproducing physiological movements and postures. The objective of this monograph was to determine the benefits of the use of standing devices in children with infantile cerebral palsy as complementary treatment. A detailed search was carried out in different databases (Medline (PubMed), Science Direct: Elsevier database and digital platform, Search results, ResearchGate Find and share research and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), documents, books, among others, which resulted in studies and research carried out in different international and national contexts with the subject of study. It was concluded that standing devices are used as technical aids in the rehabilitation process of children with cerebral palsy and their main function is to help take an upright posture for a given time.
