Manual therapy, including manual foot therapy according to the Barbara Zukunft-Huber method.
Breathing exercises, articulation exercises, magnetic therapy, ultrasound, phonophoresis, mechanotherapy and other techniques.
Rehabilitation work is based on neurocognitive diagnostics and psychomotor correction programs and is aimed at:
- correction and development of motor abilities, accuracy and coordination of movements;
- development of mental abilities;
- correction of cognitive dysfunction and difficulties
Treatment and rehabilitation of children with epilepsy
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases. Most children suffering from this disease can live a normal life, provided that an accurate diagnosis is made and proper treatment is prescribed to prevent seizures.
Currently, there are very effective medications to combat epilepsy, but in order to choose the most appropriate treatment option and dosages for each patient, it is very important to determine which type of epilepsy he suffers from. Some cases of epilepsy are not amenable to medical treatment and require surgical intervention, but a multidisciplinary group of experienced specialists based on specialized neurological and neuropsychological examinations of the child must first decide whether surgical treatment is the optimal solution in his case.

The treatment of epilepsy in EMC is:
-
Extensive diagnostic capabilities: EEG, EEG video monitoring of various duration (day and night). An EEG is performed by an epileptologist directly during the consultation in order to study brain activity and identify foci of epilepsy.
- High-tech diagnostics to find the source of epileptic seizures: MRI according to a special epileptological protocol, PET/CT is used in complex diagnostic cases.
- European and American drug therapy protocols.
- Neuropsychological diagnosis and control, assessment of a child's intellectual development and prognosis of the course of the disease.
- Accurate definition of the form of epilepsy according to the standards of the International Antiepileptic League (ILAE) allows you to choose the right treatment or avoid unnecessary medication in patients with benign forms of the disease.
- Patient-oriented approach: working closely with parents, providing complete information about the course of treatment.
- If necessary, neurosurgical treatment of epilepsy is performed, and a vagus nerve stimulator is installed. Postoperative care and patient monitoring are provided.

Treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta
Diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation after fractures resulting from osteogenesis imperfecta.
Full range of diagnostics: molecular and biochemical analysis of collagen, skin biopsy, bone biopsy, densitometry, X-ray examinations.
Modern standards of drug therapy aimed at increasing bone density, surgical treatment of fractures and deformities, rehabilitation and psychological support of the patient and family members.
Flexible titanium rods are used to treat fractures, which ensure stable fixation of the fracture without additional immobilization with a plaster cast, which often provokes new fractures.
Teaching the child and his parents the rules of behavior that will help in the future to avoid situations that provoke a fracture.

Differential diagnosis of autism in complex cases. Selection of optimal pharmacotherapy for the correction of behavioral disorders, which helps further socialization of the child.
