Application of neurohabilitation therapy in a six-month-old pediatric patient as a treatment for neurodevelopmental delay (clinical case)

Abstract

Objectives: To stop the neurodevelopmental delay of a six-month-old pediatric patient through the application of Neurohabilitation Therapy. To analyze the evolution with early detection, adherence to treatment and the participation of the baby's family nucleus, for the improvement of his neurodevelopment. To demonstrate the efficiency of the application of Neurohabilitation Therapy in six-month-old pediatric patients. Methodology: Type of study: quasi-experimental descriptive study with quantitative approach and prospective longitudinal design. Contributions: The treatment was efficient to stop neurodevelopmental delay, negative responses were obtained in 3/3 reflexes at spinal level, 8/8 reflexes at brain stem level, in automatic movement reactions 2/3 negative responses and 1/3 positive response. According to Amiel Tison's neurological examination of the 1st year of life, scores of 0 were obtained in cranial growth, relational life, passive tone, motor skills and primary reflexes, indicating that the infant's neurodevelopment is normal according to age.
