Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The article analyzes six months of physical rehabilitation for a 9-year-old boy using therapeutic exercises. The goal was to improve his physical and psycho-emotional indicators to help him adapt to social life, meet educational and sports needs on par with peers, and overcome stress from bombing and contusion. Physiotherapy methods proved effective for preventing conditions leading to disability and improving overall physical and psycho-emotional states, including complications from contusion due to being in a war zone. Negative traits targeted included aggressiveness, reluctance to communicate, refusal of physical activity, overeating due to discomfort, unwillingness to study or attend school, and a negative reaction to overcoming difficulties. Individualized physiotherapy was necessary, with personalized exercises and constant modifications, ensuring a natural and minimally traumatic process. Positive results appeared within two months, and over six months, these results were consolidated and improved, demonstrating the effectiveness of the rehabilitation strategy.
