[The personal computer as an aid for the handicapped and as a support measure in the rehabilitation of handicapped patients].

Our working world cannot be pictured anymore without computers of all kinds and sizes - which renders them equally relevant to the field of rehabilitation to disabled people. What is less known and accepted is the fact that the computer constitutes a technical device excellently suited for a multitude of purposes in the day-to-day life of disabled persons. Commercially available devices and programmes frequently can be used directly, and adaptations of earlier developments can be transferred with only minor modification. The present contribution is intended to give an idea of currently available, practical experience-based possibilities for highly efficient, and at the same time economical, provision of technical aids making use of personal computers.

[Cooperation of the orthopedist and educator in undertaking the rehabilitation of the physically handicapped as exemplified by the severely handicapped cerebral palsied child].

The impetus for therapeutic intervention does not emanate from the individual concerned; it comes from his or her family, who, in turn, must be comprised in the care provided, regarding unrealistic expectations, reluctance to assume responsibilities, refusal of "charity", guilt feelings. Service provision in mainstream facilities involves serious hazards for those with severe multiple disability. Medical and educational concerns may run counter to each other. Medical treatment-based impediments for educational care may be hospital stays, surgery, braces, postural devices, extensive physiotherapy, or drug treatment. Among the positive aspects of educator/physician cooperation are the facts that the educator develops a sense for movement therapy considerations, while the physician becomes aware of the importance of educational care, not least in case of profound psychic involvement.
