Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The patterns of reflex locomotion described by Vojta contain all the basic patterns necessary for gait, which can be observed as partial patterns during normal postural ontogenesis in the first year of life. These patterns are triggered throughout life regardless of age, so they can be activated both in healthy subjects and in the presence of neurological pathology in adult patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In reflex locomotion, there is a coordinated and rhythmic activation of the entire skeletal muscles and different circuits of the central nervous system are stimulated. The motor reactions that are triggered regularly and cyclically due to pressure stimuli, from certain starting positions, are completely reproducible and as often as desired, even in the newborn child.

All the movements that appear in the development of the human being in grasping, turning, crawling, standing up and walking, are therefore visibly stimulated. They are, according to Prof. Vojta, present even in children of a developmental stage, in which they do not spontaneously yet possess these capacities.

Through the therapeutic application of reflex locomotion, those muscular functions used unconsciously and necessary for spontaneous daily motor skills are activated in the patient, especially in the spine, but also in the arms and legs, hands and feet and in the face.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Vojta Therapy

In Vojta therapy, the therapist selectively presses certain areas of the body, with the patient lying prone, - supine or - lateral. These types of stimuli, in humans of any age, provoke automatically and without their own initiative, that is, without the active voluntary collaboration of the person

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Vojta Therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Reflex locomotion is activated by the "reflexogenic" pathway. In context with reflex locomotion, the term "reflex" does not represent the mode of neuronal control, but rather refers to defined, "automatic" and always equal motor responses produced by external stimuli, applied therapeutically.

Control Group

In the control group, a placebo intervention is administered, similar to an experimental intervention

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

placebo

Intervention Type OTHER

In the control group, a placebo intervention is administered, similar to an experimental intervention
