PEDIATRIC PHYSIOTHERAPY INTRODUCTION • INTRODUCTION • DEFINITION AND SCOPE • Pediatric physiotherapy, a specialized branch of physical therapy, is a field dedicated to enhancing the motor development and physical well-being of children. • Pediatric physiotherapy, often referred to as pediatric physical therapy, focuses on promoting optimal physical development.

4. ROLE OF PHYSIOTHERAPY IN PEDIATRICS • Pediatric physiotherapists are highly skilled professionals who play a crucial role in assessing, diagnosing, and treating a variety of physical challenges in children. • 01 • Promoting Normal Movement Patterns • 02 • Acilitating Motor Skill Development • 03 • Enhancing Muscle Strength and Endurance • 04 • Addressing Functional Limitations

5. CONDITIONS TREATED BY PEDIATRIC PHYSIOTHERAPY • Developmental Delays • Pediatric physiotherapy is instrumental in addressing developmental delays, where children may not reach motor milestones within the expected time frame. • Neurological Disorders • Conditions such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and genetic neurological disorders can significantly impact a child's motor function.

6. APPROACHES AND TECHNIQUES IN PEDIATRIC PHYSIOTHERAPY • The hallmark of pediatric physiotherapy is the integration of play into therapeutic interventions. • Play-Based Therapy • Tailored strengthening exercises help children build muscle strength, addressing weaknesses and improving overall physical function. • Strengthening Exercises • To enhance flexibility and joint mobility, pediatric physiotherapists employ range of motion exercises, ensuring that children can move their joints through their full range comfortably. • Motion Exercises • Specialized exercises are designed to improve balance and coordination, addressing challenges associated with motor planning and spatial awareness. • Coordination Training • Children with sensory processing issues benefit from sensory integration therapy, which aims to improve the brain's ability to interpret and respond to sensory input appropriately. • Sensory Integration

7.
