Abstract

In face of catamnestic examinations at a group of 61 older children and juveniles with infantile cerebral palsy we can see, that an optimal attendance by medical specialists, physiotherapists and social workers is not reached yet in each case. 39 patients (64 p.c.) are provided by a specialist regularly, 35 patients (57.4 p.c.) regularly get a physiotherapeutic treatment and 33 patients (54.1 p.c.) are often only sporadically attended by social workers. Serious disabled children, who are nursed only in their families, bring particular problems. In the authors opinion a decisive improvement of attendance is possible. For that purpose a more intensive work of "Dispensaries for disabled children and juveniles" in connexion with a consistent utilization of the socialist legislation is necessary.
