[Conductive education in integral rehabilitation of patients with cerebral palsy].
"Conductive education" was thought out and developed by Andres Peto in Budapest. Its main goal is "orthofunction". Such a system was used in 22 children with cerebral palsy. These children were divided in two groups, one with 10 pre-school and school age children and the other of "parents and babies" with 12 infants. From the first group, six children had received physiotherapy in our Center following an eclectic method at least for one year and from the second group seven infants had received also physiotherapy at least for six months; these children were used as controls. The rest of the children were new admissions. A special evaluating scale was developed to evaluate all the children involved. In the control group the evaluation was performed before the initiation of the program (12 and six months respectively), at the beginning in all of them and at 12 and 16 months in the pre-school and school age group, and at six and 12 months in the infants of the "parents and babies" group. The results showed a definite advantage in both groups of Conductive education in the motor, cognitive and social areas compared with the results with physiotherapy in the control group.
