Several conditions in pediatrics might necessitate minimizing movement. These include:
- Fractures: Immobilization helps in proper bone healing. - Post-Surgical Recovery: Restricting movement can prevent complications and aid in faster recovery. - Severe Infections: Conditions like osteomyelitis often require restricted movement to prevent worsening of the infection. - Neurological Disorders: In cases of seizures or severe cerebral palsy, minimizing movement can prevent injury. - Burns: Movement restriction can help in proper healing of burn injuries and prevent further damage.
