Motor Disorders Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effects of Vojta Therapy on the Motor Function of Children With Neuromotor Disorders
Functionality and motor skills during activities of daily living have progressively gained importance as tools for classification, assessment and research of neuromotor disorders and the treatment methodology according to Dr. Vojta or Reflex Locomotion follows this criterion in the clinical field. Vojta therapy is a commonly extended tool in the field of pediatric rehabilitation. This methodology acts on the ontogenic postural function and automatic postural control, on which different environmental aspects will later act. It is not a functional training, to avoid the voluntary movement available according to the pathology by means of compensations. Vojta therapy would be the key to unlock the development of gross motor function, later used in the movement of daily life activities, including other therapies such as conventional physiotherapy, sensory stimulation, occupational therapy, etc. This study aims to demonstrate that there are changes in the motor development of children with cerebral palsy with the application of Vojta Therapy.

Primary | Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM). | Gross motor function and mobility have important roles for classification, assessment and research involving children with neuromotor disorders. Gross Motor Function Measure could be currently considered as gold standard for the quantification of gross motor function in the pediatric rehabilitation. Maximum and minimum scores on the GMFM may vary depending on age and the specific dimension being assessed (0-88). In general, a score of 100% on a dimension would indicate that the child has a motor skill level equivalent to that of a nondisabled child of the same age on that dimension. | Baseline and immediately after the intervention | |
Primary | Infant Motor Profile (IMP) scale | The Infant Motor Profile scale is another evidence-based method of assessing infant motor behavior. It not only quantifies motor milestones, but also movement quality by analysing five factors: variability, adaptation, symmetry, fluency, and capacity. The advantage of this scale is that the assessment is performed through video recording, allowing to have a dedicated clinical evaluator blinded to the type of intervention. There is no specific maximum or minimum IMP score value, as the scores are interpreted in relation to typical motor development skills for the child's age. In general, a higher PMI score indicates better motor development, while a lower score may suggest delays in motor development. | Baseline and immediately after the intervention | |
Secondary | Date of birth | It will be registered at the beginning of the study in order to calculate the age of the participant. | Baseline | |
Secondary | Diagnosis | It will be registered at the beginning of the study in order to calculate the diagnosis of the participant. | Baseline | |
Secondary | Number of previous physiotherapeutic treatments | Data will be collected on participants' previous treatments: Occupational Therapy; Hydrotherapy; Surgery and Botulinum toxin | Baseline |
