Throng with a referral to the ophthalmologist.
• Orthotics and Prosthetics – Musculoskeletal impairments, joint weakness or the inability of any joint or muscle group to function correctly can greatly decrease a Childs quality of life and mobility. We therefore conduct detailed evaluations to assess the child for the need of an orthosis (an apparatus used to support, align, prevent or correct deformities) and prescribe a tailor made orthosis to aid him/her in achieving improved function and mobility.
• Body-weight–supported treadmill training (BWSTT) - This specialized equipment helps children to improve their strength, endurance, gait pattern and enables the child to become independent. The body weight of the child is unloaded by overhead harness and therapist's assistance. It works on the principle of neuroplasticity. We request you to make optimal use of this facility.
• Home Care Sessions – we provide home care session in the form of Home therapy visits by our therapists for children who are unable to follow up regular therapy at our hospital owing to various constraints and problems.
• Video and Written Home Program- to cater to the requirements of our Outstation and International patients we offer a written or a video CD of a tailor made therapy program for them to be followed up back home in the home environment, so that the child does not miss out on therapy and can come back for follow up after a certain time interval.
