Abstract
In severe celebral palsied children, chronic respiratory dysfunction due to upper-airway obstraction and chest mobility restriction is a serious problem. Other health problems such as digestive dysfunction consequently become worse so that the life of the individual is endangered. This problem was solved by maintaining an upper-airway with a Nasopharyngeal Airway Tube and improving the efficiency of ventilation by chest physical therapy. The latter consisted of manual breathing assistance techniques. In this manner respiratory and general conditions improved as did also, consequently quality of life of the children and their families.
