TREATING CHILDREN’S NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDERS IN UKRAINE

Nikopol Children’s Rehabilitation Centre in Ukraine specialises in central nervous system disorders, psychiatric disorders and musculoskeletal disorders. They have been using coMra as a supportive therapy since 2012, with notable results. coMra therapy has become an essential part of their rehabilitation program for paresis, cerebral palsy and varus/valgus joint deformities, as well as numerous other conditions.^{3, 4}

Case 1:

Children with cerebral palsy were treated with coMra for 15-21 days, once to twice a day, with a 3-week break between the courses. (This was in addition to physiotherapy and various other therapies.)³

The following physical and cognitive improvements were noted:³

• Abnormal muscle tone improved
• Motor activity increased
• Twisting of limbs and overall posture problems became less pronounced
• Range of movement in elbow and shoulder joints increased
• Gripping of objects improved
• Children became more active
• Vocabulary and cognitive activity increased

Case 2:

A young girl had congenital hypotonia (a muscle tone disorder) following perinatal asphyxia (oxygen deprivation). This caused delayed motor function development, as well as joint deformity in her knees and feet. She was treated with a combination of kinesiotherapy and coMra therapy (PEDIATRICS 1, TRAUMATOLOGY 11 and 12). She was first treated at the clinic at 7 months, and overall received 6-7 courses of treatment over nearly 3 years. After treatment, she was able to walk and jump without difficulty.⁵

Professionals at the clinic have also found coMra useful in supporting children’s overall health, treating complaints like tonsilitis, sinusitis, allergies and bedwetting.⁵
