ABSTRACT

Neuromuscular diseases refer to a class of congenital or acquired diseases mainly involving the spinal cord anterior horn motor cells, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junction and skeletal muscle.The common symptoms and signs include respiratory failure, skeletal malformations, joint contracture, gait abnormalities and movement disorders, and so on.Children in PICU are in more critical conditions.Early systematic, standardized and individualized rehabilitation training can promote the recovery of neuromuscular function, prevent or reduce complications, reduce the incidence and severity of late limb dysfunction, as well as improve the long-term quality of life of children.This review summarized the rehabilitation training of children with neuromuscular disease in PICU.
