Intensive neurorehabilitation of children
Big dedication for little patients
The intensive rehabilitation treatment for children in the ADELI Medical Center:
- lasts either two, three or four weeks, based on the diagnosis, condition and degree of disability of each patient
- takes place six days a week, and four to five hours per day
- is carried out by a team of physiotherapists, manual doctors, nurses and other specalists, led by the attending physician, who observe the patient, correct deformities and ensure the high quality of the treatment
- is individualised in order to support the development of the child with the objective to enable a normal and independent life as far as possible
