Impact des troubles orthopédiques sur la ventilation du sujet IMC/polyhandicapé

Cerebral Palsy motor disorder triggers orthopedic complications. These complications do develop by themselves and gradually degrade the motor function. The functioning of the ventilatory pump is no exception to this process. Other orthopedic impairments are impacting more indirectly ventilation. Some orthopedic treatments used for PC people are likely to worsen this clinical situation, temporarily or more permanently. Any therapeutic intervention must include two essential points: acting previously to realign posture and considering interactions of treatments on different functions.
