Abstract
Scientific studies also question whether intensive physiotherapy associated with the use of clothing with elastic (suit - dynamic orthoses) or not produce beneficial outcomes for individuals with neurological deficits. Objective. The aim of this study was to determine the gains in motor function trunk of children diagnosed with cerebral palsy underwent five weeks of Intensive Neuromotor Therapy (INMT) using suit of Pediasuit protocol. This is an observational longitudinal quantitative study. Results. We evaluated 22 children 03-08 years of age with neuromotor deficits related to cerebral palsy. Two instruments were used to measure: the scale GMFM 88 and a system of electrogoniometrywi-fi (wireless sensors) called Biofeed® (Biosmart®). The results of the GMFM showed statistically significant difference (p<0.05) for the dimensions A, B and Total (average of all evaluated dimensions) scores between Pre and Post TNMI. Likewise, electrogoniometrywi-fi pointed average reduction (Post - Pre) of 7.70’’ and 5.73’’ for the time of oscillation of the trunk out for 4º and 10º, respectively, and both with p<0.05. Conclusion. We conclude that the INMT associated with the use of the suit (dynamicsorthesis) can promote significant improvements in trunk control in children with cerebral palsy.
