“Estimulación sensorial en el desarrollo motor grueso de niños con lesiones neurológicas del centro terapéutico Multisensory.”

Abstract

The current research is held based on the topic: “Sensory Stimulation in the development of the gross motor on children who present a neurological lesion (brain palsy) from The Centro Terapéutico Multisensory”. The research takes into account a total sample of 14 children between the ages of 4 and 3 years whose genders are 11 male and 3 female. It employs the Gross Motor Function Measure Test in order to get the accurate information needed to stablish the percentiles. The test allows measuring the following 5 parameters: prone, crowing and knees, standing, marching, running and jumping at the same time. In order to develop this project we’ll start with a prior evaluation which will be helpful to stablish the initial physical condition of our patients. This will be useful because it will allows us to determine the precise techniques to be employed in each patient taking into consideration the development of the gross motor. After that, a second evaluation is done in order to make comparisons between the two results of the treatment. It pointed out positive results because the research shows an increase of a 10 - 40 % on each children’s motor abilities as well as the skills; leading into a factual percentage of 20 in the overall range and items assessed. To sum up I can state that on one hand it’s necessary to apply a measuring instrument to understand the strengths of each patient in order to provide the most accurate and appropriate treatment; on the other hand it is essential to apply sensory techniques as a therapeutic method of patient’s rehabilitation for those who suffers a neurological lesion.
