Challenge
The physiotherapists find it challenging to mobilize the most severe children and youth enough, and it becomes increasingly difficult to manage the children as the grow. Children and youth who has been through surgery are especially a vulnerable group. They are often immobilized for a period, and it can be difficult to get them back to the same level of function prior to the surgery.
