[Therapeutic possibilities for the handicapped child].
This article reviews the papers on therapies for handicapped children which were delivered at the 20th annual "Fortbildungskurs der Osterreichischen Gesellschaft für Kinderheilkunde", Obergurgl, 1987. Central topic was the oral region. J. P. Guggenbichler, Innsbruck (pathogenesis) and Sieglinde Zschiesche, Erlangen (The Erlangen interdisciplinary treatment approach) covered genesis and treatment of cheilo-gnatho-palato-schisis. Background and therapy-principles for dysfunctions of the facial, oral and pharyngeal region were discussed by H. Haberfellner, Innsbruck. He also described therapy by use of modified orthodontic devices (ISMAR: Innsbruck sensori-motor activators and regulators) and Schönherr's vestibular screen. The same was done for Castillo-Morales' palatal plates by J. Limbrock, München. Essence and changing features were described for Bobath concept and Petö's Conductive Education by H. Haberfellner and for Vojta's and Castillo-Morales' therapy by J. Limbrock. This part was concluded by a survey on therapeutic sports (H. Haberfellner): Riding on horseback, swimming, skiing and cross-country skiing, also for spinally injured patients.
