Physical Therapy
We carry out 7 Evaluation Stages for a correct medical approach
Pre-assessment - before the Child's arrival at the Centre
The Personalized Intervention Team and Therapists Responsible for the Case are established
10 working days before the arrival at the Maria Beatrice Center, the Family of the beneficiary child sends the Center a 4-5 minute video highlighting the child’s motor skills, namely what the child can do at that moment: roll over, crawl, sits on his butt, sits on all fours, walks, etc., respectively what are the limitations and what he CANNOT do.
At this moment the Therapists Responsible for the Case determine the Assessment Tests that will be applied to the child upon arrival at the Center.
Evaluation
Participants: Neurology-Pediatric Specialist and/or Recovery Medicine, Physical Medicine and Balneology Specialist, Family of the beneficiary child and if needed, Case Manager Therapists.
It is carried out by the Therapists in Charge of the Case
The Personalized Intervention Team participates, which, based on all the elements available, establishes Common Therapeutic Objectives in the short and medium term.
It is done at the suggestion of the current therapists, depending on the general dynamics of the child or in the case of a change in the general state of health, or if new elements have been identified that require a new therapeutic approach.
An open discussion involving the Personalized Intervention Team and the Family takes place, where home recommendations are presented and long-term goals are established that are also consistent with the needs of the Family.

640 minutes = almost 11 hours of Initial Multidisciplinary Assessment for the elaboration of the plan and common Objectives for all Intervention Areas.
The most complete and consistent Integrated Therapeutic Package for the Medical Recovery of the Young Child in Romania, with common objectives for all the Intervention Areas, in one place.
The Case Study and Follow-Up Committees generate additional medical and organizational value by establishing common objectives, congruent approaches and in accordance with the needs of the Family, pay relevant attention to the parent ensuring the fluency of the Family’s communication with the Personalized Intervention Team.
The child’s timetable seeks, as far as possible, to take into account the child’s sleep, feeding and general dynamics during the day.
During the entire evaluation process, the correct and objective definition of “Contraindications” is sought! It starts from the principle according to which “Before doing good, let’s not do bad”.
