1st quarter of 2020: 18 children learned to walk again at rehabilitation

After complex cancer treatment and the installation of endoprostheses or donor bones, children need to learn walk, move and control the body again. Professional rehabilitation helps with this - daily, systematic and vital.

The role of rehabilitation therapists in treatment

In January-March 2020, rehabilitation specialists:

• held more than 180 individual lessons;

• worked with 18 patients at the National Cancer Institute;

• helped children regain mobility and reduce pain.

Stories of little winners

• Alexander After the endoprosthesis was fitted, he regained mobility in his leg and experienced a significant reduction in pain.

• NikaDespite his postoperative weakness and the difference in leg length, he is already on crutches and learning to control his muscles.

• Ruslan went from a verticalizer to a single crutch. The guy is training on simulators and is making steady progress - very soon he will be able to walk on his own.

A partnership that supports the movement

This progress was made possible by support of Winner Group Ukrainewhich finances the work of rehabilitation specialists in hospitals.

Rehabilitation is an equally important part of treatment

Without systematic work with a specialist, a child with cancer will not be able to return to an active life.
Rehabilitation is the first step to full recovery.
