Pediatric Pathologies | Kine-Pedia Luxembourg
Discover the pediatric conditions we treat: congenital torticollis, plagiocephaly, bronchiolitis, scoliosis, cerebral palsy, dyspraxia. Evidence-based approach.
- Congenital Torticollis: Retraction of the sternocleidomastoid muscle causing head tilting. Early treatment is essential.
- Positional Plagiocephaly: Skull deformation (flat head) due to prolonged positioning. More common since back sleeping recommendation.
- Clubfoot (Talipes Equinovarus): Congenital foot deformation requiring early treatment. Corrective plate system and physiotherapy.
- Foot Malpositions: Positional foot deformations in infants: metatarsus adductus, varus foot, valgus foot. Gentle correction through physiotherapy.
- Congenital Hip Dysplasia: Hip instability or dislocation detected at birth. Orthopedic and physiotherapy management.
- Obstetric Brachial Plexus Palsy: Arm nerve injury occurring during birth. Early rehabilitation for optimal recovery.
- Infant Bronchiolitis: Very common viral bronchiole infection in children under 2. Respiratory physiotherapy for clearance.
- Childhood Asthma: Chronic respiratory disease with episodes of breathing difficulty. Physiotherapy complements medical treatment.
- Cystic Fibrosis: Genetic disease affecting lungs and digestive system. Essential daily respiratory physiotherapy.
- Motor Development Delay: Gap in acquiring motor milestones (holding head, rolling, crawling, walking). Early stimulation recommended.
- Premature Follow-up: Support for neuromotor development of babies born early. Adapted monitoring and stimulation.
- Child and Adolescent Scoliosis: Lateral spinal deviation. Monitoring and physiotherapy complementing orthopedic treatment.
- Cerebral Palsy: Motor disorder due to early brain injury. Long-term multidisciplinary care.
- Dyspraxia and Coordination Disorders (DCD): Difficulties learning gestures and coordination. Impact on daily and school activities.
- Spina Bifida: Congenital spinal malformation with neural tube closure defect. Early and long-term physiotherapy management.
- Infant Colic and Digestive Disorders: Abdominal pain and excessive crying in infants. Gentle manual techniques for relief.
