Help to the Freedom of Movement

Regular rehabilitation measures are of special importance to children with movement disorders. Rehabilitation provides not only for the improvement of the physical ability of these children but also increases self esteem and promotes the wish for self-actualization needs.

Many parents provide their children with the rehabilitation activities paid by the state as well as paying themselves or by the help of contributors.

The Society „For Children of Latvia with Movement Problems” in cooperation with ziedot.lv would like to give these children the possibility to improve their physical abilities by recognized European methods, in the concrete, by using a special training device Galileo Basic. It will give children and youth the following possibilities:

  • Improve balance and coordination;
  • Improve muscular qualities;
  • Improve the quality of movements and posture;
  • Improve working capacity.

Galileo Basic vibration training device helps to improve the deep muscle stabilization which forms the basis for a qualitative stand and good gait. Direction of the vibration of the device has been created specifically for the people with neurological movement disabilities and additional stability systems to the training device are available.

The achieved result will allow the children to improve and develop self-care skills that will promote the growth of their self-confidence and the wish to involve in further improvement of their health. The children with movement disabilities will be able to more successfully integrate not only among the peers but also in the society in general.

Trainings on a device like this have not been included among the state covered rehabilitation activities therefore it has been envisaged to purchase two Galileo Basic vibration training devices by the help of contributors. One of the devices will be placed in the rehabilitation centre of the Society „For Children of Latvia with Movement Problems” in Riga and will provide for 168 training hours per month. Using of the training device will be free of charge. Co-payment of parents will cover the expenses for the work of physiotherapists and the usage of premises. It has been planned that the cost of one training will not exceed 6,10 Ls. The other training device will be given free of charge for home usage to the children living far or to the children who have difficulties in being transportable. Parents or caretakers of the child or the young adult will be educated and advised on a proper use of the device at home prior to getting the device.

Physician or physiotherapist of the patient can decide on the inclusion of the Galileo Basic vibration training device in the therapy after they have considered the state of health of the child or young adult.

6854,22 Ls are necessary in order to purchase 2 training devices. Let us give the possibility to children and youth to take advantage of recognized European rehabilitation methods here in Latvia!

The Project is being implemented by the Society „For Children of Latvia with Movement Problems”. You are welcome to find more information at http://lbakt.zb.lv.
