    “La estimulación temprana en el desarrollo de una niña con diagnóstico de leucodistrofia metacromática de 4 años de edad”
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato - Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud - Carrera de Estimulación Temprana, 2019-09-01) Soria Jiménez, Gabriela Estefanía; Vaca Sánchez, María Alexandra Lic. Mg.
    Metachromatic leukodystrophy is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by an accumulation of sulfates, in the central nervous system and in the kidneys. The case analysis was carried out with a female patient of four years of age, who was diagnosed with this disease in a public institution in the city of Quito at two years and since her diagnosis she performs early stimulation therapies, physical, language and occupational, observing a minimum advance in the evolution of his illness. During the case study it was possible to observe the symptoms of the disease such as cerebral palsy with minimal movement of the left arm, inability to speak, retardation of its psychomotor development was evaluated with the Nelson Ortiz Scale that assesses gross motor skills, adaptive fine motor skills, hearing and language and social personnel, the results served as a fundamental basis to proceed to a diagnosis in an appropriate way to the patient because it is in the alert range so it does not meet the established development items. Once you get the results, a complementary treatment is proposed as techniques that allow you to work on postures, movements, balance, attention, senses and coordination to improve the quality of life of the family patient and help with this to social insertion.

    “La estimulación vestibular en el desarrollo motor grueso de una niña de 2 años de edad diagnosticada con el síndrome de seckel”
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato - Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud - Carrera de Estimulación Temprana, 2019-04-01) Tite Tubón, Andrea Lizbeth; Vaca Sánchez, María Alexandra Lic. Mg.
    Seckel syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by microcephaly, dwarfism and mental retardation, conditions that cause an alteration in growth and development in severe form; this syndrome was diagnosed in a patient at 2 years of age, time in which the psychomotor advance showed a significant delay. It is important to point out that at two months of age the patient had suffered from viral encephalitis, which also complicated her basic situation because it had caused neurological damage which concealed the genetic disorder. Faced with a picture of total temporary disability, it is proposed to use complementary treatments such as vestibular stimulation, a technique that allows working the movement, coordination, balance and tonicity of all the anatomical elements, which would allow in this case to improve the quality of life in a comprehensive and since it can be used from the prenatal stage the results are favorable, however in this case it has not yet been applied due to the ignorance of the doctor who has been taking the case, even so early stimulation has been applied what has been allowed the patient to initiate basic actions within her child development.
