ABSTRACT
Background: Cerebral palsy is a movement and posture alterations that in time evolve to musculoskeletal alterations that could require surgical treatment. After surgery, rehabilitation treatment shall be recommended to take advantage of the procedure.
Material and methods: A self-controlled study was performed. We reviewed the clinical records of patients who underwent orthopedic surgery during the period of one year. The objective was to describe postsurgical treatment with hydrotherapy and mecanotherapy and assessed through motor gross function. Patients were classified according to previous function level and after interventions.
Results: 62 patients underwent surgery between ages from 4 to 19 years. The most frequent surgeries were multiple tenotomy. After rehabilitation treatment and related to gross motor function classification, 17 patients progress to immediate superior level.
Conclusion: Patients that undergo to orthopedic surgery require appropriate and early rehabilitation, to ensure positive effects of surgery and to improve function level.
