Abstract
The recovery of the motor deficit caused by neurapraxia is indispensably linked to the removal of the compression on the nerve and to a recovery strategy based on the facilitation of a motor response. The study was carried out on a 32-year-old patient with comminuted fracture of the lower third of the left femur, for which she had a surgical intervention, the fracture being stabilized using a metal plate and screws. The programme was made up of: stimulating massage, facilitation techniques in an open kinetic chain, then in a closed kinetic chain using the gym ball, the medicinal ball and the cane, exercises for the re-education of sensitivity, exercises using different objects, exercises using the wall ladder, pedalling on the ergonomic bike, etc. The results achieved confirm the hypothesis formulated in the beginning; thus, the recovery of the sensory-motor deficit was achieved in 3 months, compared to the 6-9-month period normally estimated, thus halving the recovery period.
