Abstract

In many small institutes exact positioning supports could not yet be manufactured for cost and personal reasons. This problem is solved in a simple manner by the use of the described modern synthetics which allow the application of high-precision techniques such as small-field pendulum therapy and isocentric multifield therapy. This system serves the safety of patients and therapists and is meant to prevent recurrences and late damages especially in children.
