    Upright bracing offers significant physiological and psychosocial benefits for paraplegic children, improving their health and independence. New devices like stand-up wheelchairs enhance participation in daily activities and group settings.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Paraplegic children face unique challenges during growth, including physiological complications and reduced quality of life.
    • Upright bracing is recognized as a beneficial intervention for managing these challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the multifaceted benefits of upright bracing for growing paraplegic children.
    • To introduce and evaluate novel assistive devices for enhancing mobility and participation.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical outcomes associated with upright bracing in paraplegic children.
    • Implementation and assessment of new devices: stand-up wheelchair and shuttlebug.

    Main Results:
