Gedetailleerde beschrijving
Despite notable advancements in pediatric orthopedic rehabilitation, effective pain management and the restoration of functional range of motion continue to present significant challenges for children recovering from lower limb fractures. Traditional physiotherapy interventions largely emphasize manual therapy and structured exercise programs, often supplemented with pharmacological pain management. However, reliance on medications may lead to potential side effects and can negatively impact treatment adherence, particularly in pediatric populations. As a result, there is increasing interest in non-pharmacological approaches that can enhance rehabilitation outcomes while minimizing risks.
One such approach, Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS), has demonstrated considerable effectiveness in neurorehabilitation settings, including in conditions such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, and cerebral palsy. In these populations, RAS has been shown to improve motor coordination, regulate gait patterns, and positively influence pain perception through the use of rhythmic cues. Despite these promising outcomes, there remains a clear gap in the literature regarding the application of RAS within pediatric orthopedic rehabilitation, especially for children recovering from fractures.
Exploring the role of RAS in this specific context could provide valuable insights into its potential as an adjunct to conventional therapy. Integrating rhythmic auditory cues into rehabilitation programs may not only support improved physical outcomes, such as enhanced joint mobility and reduced pain, but also contribute to better emotional engagement and overall patient experience. Addressing this gap is essential for advancing evidence-based practice, expanding the use of innovative therapeutic techniques, and ultimately improving the quality of care and satisfaction for pediatric patients and their families.

Experimenteel: Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation
The intervention involves applying Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) through structured rhythmic cues or music during rehabilitation sessions alongside standard physiotherapy for children with lower limb fractures.
These rhythmic cues are synchronized with movement exercises to help with pain perception and joint range of motion during recovery.

Pain in lowerlimb
Tijdsspanne: 3 months
|
changes from baseline in Pain will be assessed to determine the effectiveness of rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) during post-fracture rehabilitation in children with lower limb injuries.
Measurements will be taken before and after the intervention using an appropriate pediatric pain scale to evaluate any reduction in pain levels associated with the incorporation of rhythmic auditory cues alongside standard physiotherapy.

Range of Motion
Tijdsspanne: 3 months
|
changes from baseline in Range of motion (ROM) refers to the degree of movement achieved at the affected lower limb joint during post-fracture rehabilitation.
It will be measured before and after the intervention to assess improvements in joint mobility following the application of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation in combination with standard physiotherapy.
