[Recent progress in pediatric neurological rehabilitation]

Abstract

New challenges in rehabilitation for children with neurological diseases directly depend on advances made in medical research and on the quality of the environment. This is relevant to motor function as a whole, to new therapeutic avenues in spasticity, to global approaches in the evaluation of cognitive and learning disabilities, as well as curative perspectives in neuromuscular disease. Networking with the family and other actors in the environmental field is essential to achieve a better social integration. A true collaboration between physicians and pediatricians is necessary to work toward more progress.
