[Some thoughts on the adaptation of technical aids for children with cerebral palsy (author's transl)].
The technical aids used by children undergoing inpatient treatment at a centre for the cerebral palsied were critically assessed over a one-year period. Of the evaluated technical aids 50% were optimal for the child under consideration, the remainder was inappropriate for one or more reasons. The most frequent amongst the non-optimal were either not medically prescribed or adequately adapted and tested. The children in question are hence threatened with unnecessary deformations, an insufficient utilisation of their development potential and a lower degree of independence. Also, the financially responsible agencies have to cope with considerably larger expenditures.
