Physical treatment plays very important role in treatment of children with neuromuscular disorders. It is usually symptomatic and preventive, not being usual, except in children with cerebral palsy. Physical treatment of children with neuromuscular disorders is specific because good clinical knowledge as well as additional education for application of procedures is required during treatment with final evaluation of the achieved results. In fact, whole scientific philosophy is needed since natural development of child with neuromuscular disorders is in close correlation with the degree of retardation that may vary from one disease to another in relation to child?s age as well as to clinical presentation of the disease. Upon neurological diagnose and medicamentous treatment, different physical procedures are applied in order to achieve the best possible results in motor development and in psychic and social reeducation as well.
