Abstract
General hypotonia in children with multiple physical disabilities leads to difficulties in postural head control, of which risks are orthopaedic and functional (food ingestion in the bronchial system, respiratory disorders, etc.). Based on clinical observation we will reflect on the features and indication of the equipment to best reduce cervical hypotonia. By means of a clinical case, we will describe several methods of postural head control with their respective benefits and drawbacks, in order to improve the function: dynamic headrest, partial head hanging, helicoidal headrest and chin strap.
