Summary:
In a case of a female patient M. I. (ID 895429/8658) an application of non-conventional intensive
rehabilitation treatment at patient’s home was performed, prevented and supported by trained and
skilled parents. At the same time, an out-patient department rehabilitation treatment with controlling
and detailing the rehabilitation programme and applying elements of an myoskeletal reflex therapy
was provided.
Performing this treatment procedure a very surprising therapy effect was achieved in an accelerated
start of significant regeneration of proximal epiphysis, documented by X-rays, with signs of the
femoral head reconstruction. The regeneration of hypotrophic gluteal muscles of the ahdicaped site
was 1 to 2 months ahead compared with regeneration changes realized by X-ray controls.
The global therapy by means of this rehabilitation method shortened the therapy at this patient by
about one year, not breaking the school and being at home. Saving costs of one year stay in children’s
hospital has a remarcable importance too.
