Potential of Vojta's Reflex Locomotion as a Pre/Induction Method for Uterine Activity: a Pilot Study

Czechia40 participantsStarted 2021-06-23

Plain-language summary

The Vojta's method is neurophysiological rehabilitation method used to support and induce reflex responses of locomotor and vegetative system. It uses involuntary motor reaction of the body during pressure stimulation of so-called trigger zones. Pregnancy is currently considered a contraindication for using Vojta's therapy to potential risks of inducing regular uterine activity and risk of delivery. The aim of the study is to evaluate changes in uterine activity and also explore the possibility of using this method as a new approach for pre/induction of delivery.
