Question 1

Can the surgery itself be performed in China?

Accepted Answer

Yes, these operations are actively performed in China. The convenience — the operating block and the rehab team work in the same medical facility (Yuncheng People's Hospital), and the child moves from the OR into the early rehabilitation phase without transferring between clinics. Surgery cost in China is also often more accessible than in Western Europe. The network case manager will help clarify whether your case fits a Chinese surgeon, or whether it is better to prepare for surgery at home and travel to China for rehabilitation.

Question 2

When is it best to start rehabilitation after surgery?

Accepted Answer

The earlier, the better. The early phase — positioning, contracture prevention with passive movements, breathing exercises and pain control — starts within the first 24 hours after surgery while still in hospital. The full active program begins after immobilization is removed (1–2 weeks for SPML, 6–8 weeks for SLOB and osteotomy). A long gap between surgery and the start of rehabilitation directly reduces the final result, so it makes sense to plan the trip to a network clinic in advance, before the operation.

Question 3

How do network clinics differ in their post-surgery rehabilitation approach?

Accepted Answer

Network clinics differ in their emphasis — a case manager will help match the right one to your operation and phase:

- Yuncheng People's Hospital — the only network clinic with its own operating block: surgery and early rehabilitation can be done in the same medical facility, without transferring between clinics right after the operation
- NeuroLife — the broadest team for the active middle and late phases: rehab physician, physical and occupational therapists, exercise instructors, Lokomat and NMES, traditional Chinese medicine in measured doses
- H&B Neurolife (Shangrao) — late-phase recovery for children: physical and occupational therapy to regain skills, Tuina and acupuncture to manage muscle tone and prevent contractures
- Tashkent — pre- and post-surgery consultations plus outpatient rehabilitation after the family returns from Chinese clinics; convenient for CIS families to keep the rhythm of work going between courses

Question 4

How long is a post-surgery rehabilitation course?

Accepted Answer

A base course is 1–3 months in the clinic. For SDR a minimum of 6 months of intensive work is recommended — that is a property of the operation, not a marketing offer. Repeat courses in the first year run every 3–4 months, then every 6 months. Between courses the family follows a home program: the exercises are practiced with a specialist before discharge and are reviewed at every follow-up visit.

Question 5

How do we set up a video call with the network case manager?

Accepted Answer

It starts with a short 20–30 minute call with the network case manager — you describe the situation in your own words, which operation is planned or already done, what phase you are currently in. In parallel the case manager reviews medical records (hospital discharge summaries, X-ray and MRI images, the surgical report, orthopedic and rehab assessments, short videos of walking or attempts to stand) and, when needed, arranges a video call with a rehab physician or surgeon. The result is a shortlist of 1–3 network clinics, a course format and a preliminary cost estimate — with no commitment from your side. Submit a request via the website form or messengers.
