Abstract
Rehabilitation in the prosthetics process can significantly enhance patients’ functional abilities and their skill in managing prostheses. Nevertheless, most international rehabilitation recommendations for prosthetic users are aimed at adults. Prior to this research, Russian scientific studies had not proposed a comprehensive model that would integrate current scientific knowledge on the rehabilitation of children needing upper limb prosthetics due to congenital diseases.The aim of the study to develop an organizational-functional model of phased interdisciplinary medical rehabilitation for children requiring upper limb prosthetics due to congenital diseases.Materials and methods. Organizational-functional modeling based on the analysis of regulatory legal acts, scientific research, and guidelines for the medical rehabilitation of children with upper limb peculiarities.Results. The organizational-functional model of rehabilitation includes 3 stages: preparation for prosthetics, rehabilitation upon receiving the prosthetics, and family support during the use of the prosthetics. The main goals of each stage are developed, specialists responsible for solving specific tasks at each stage are identified, and organizations (divisions) responsible for the implementation of each stage are determined. Methodological materials for the parents of children from the target group have been created. Materials aim at optimizing interaction with families and their psychological support. A scheme for remote family support throughout the entire period of prosthetic use has been developed.Conclusion. The developed organizational-functional model of phased interdisciplinary medical rehabilitation for children needing upper limb prosthetics due to congenital diseases is designed to ensure adherence to the fundamental principles of rehabilitation – early start, phased approach, continuity, interdisciplinarity, individualized approach, as well as active family involvement in the rehabilitation process.
