It focuses on diagnostic clarity and long-term therapy for children and adolescents. The medical team includes 13 specialists – pediatric surgeons, clinical psychologists, and therapists.### Specialized Pediatric Care and RecognitionsHope AMC is recognized as one of the Leading Hospitals in the region.

Specialists manage spine disorders, hip issues, knee pain, and fragile bone conditions. The center also offers non-surgical scoliosis treatment with custom braces to stop curve progression.For children with spinal cord injuries, the clinic uses UGUL Therapy. This method relies on a specialized cage and segmental body suspension. Patients can perform movements that would be impossible under normal gravity.

Each program includes five daily sessions, lasting 2 to 6 hours each.### Pediatric Rehabilitation and Suit TherapyDr. Mai Abdel Mohsen leads the rehabilitation programs. She holds a PhD from Cairo University and is certified in neurodevelopmental therapy and sensory integration. The clinic is known for Dynamic Suit Therapy using the DUNAG-02 system.

Diagnostic tools include ADOS-2 and ADI-R – evidence-based standards for autism detection. Children diagnosed with ASD receive Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy.ABA plans are tailored to each child's needs, not standardized. Specialists break complex goals – social interaction, daily hygiene – into small steps. This one-on-one approach targets behavior modification and skill building. Families receive a detailed report and a clear support plan to follow at home.### Diagnostic Equipment and TechnologiesThe center uses various tools to monitor progress and plan surgeries. VitalStim technology provides non-invasive neuromuscular electrical stimulation. Throat electrodes strengthen the muscles used for swallowing.Available diagnostic and treatment equipment includes:

MRI and CT scanners for detailed bone and tissue imaging
Decompression systems – AccuSpine and IDD platforms
Nasal and Laryngoscopy tools for airway and swallowing evaluations
C-arm guided imaging for precise nerve block procedures
