Résumé |
This article describes the unique aspects of growth and development that affect the pathophysiology, neurologic impairments, functional limitations, and disabilities of children with spinal cord injury (SCI). The rehabilitation process extends over a period of years because the young child requires time to achieve adequate upper body strength, adult body proportions, and cognitive skills for maximal independence. This article also reviews the unique secondary complications that can occur in children with SCI.
