Integrative Approach for Rehabilitation of an 11-Year-Old Child With Bilateral Hemiplegia.

Over 80% of stroke patients suffer from the most frequent form, ischemic stroke. It is rare in the pediatric age group, with an estimated frequency of 1.6 per 100,000 per year. In this case report, we reviewed a case of an 11-year-old female child with bilateral hemiplegia. Motor impairments are defined as weakness or paralysis on the opposite side of the body from the lesion (hemiplegia or hemiparesis). Complications and impairments include difficulty swallowing or eating, communication difficulties (both receptive and expressive), emotional changes, loss of bladder or bowel control, muscle and nerve diseases, and language, speech, and memory problems. A patient-centered approach to rehabilitation interventions was given. The patient's functional ability was greatly enhanced due to the physiotherapy rehabilitation we used. Effective rehabilitation has taken advantage of the brain's capacity for repair and recovery. A patient-centered approach to rehabilitation interventions promotes healing and independence through restitution, compensation, and prevention. Task-oriented training using motor learning constructs, coupled with exercise science, forms the basis of the intervention. Every outcome measure that was used showed improvement in the patient.
