Does early physiotherapy and rehabilitation improve neurodevelopmental outcomes in children with Acute Necrotizing Encephalopathy of Childhood?
Early detection, standard medical therapy, and early physiotherapy/rehabilitation may improve survival and neurodevelopmental outcomes in children with Acute Necrotizing Encephalopathy.
A 2021 study conducted an observational in Acute Necrotizing Encephalopathy of Childhood (ANEC) (n=10). Early physiotherapy and rehabilitation was evaluated on Neurodevelopmental outcome and response to rehabilitation (Modified Rankin Scale).
