Brazil16 participantsStarted 2018-01-15

Plain-language summary

The study aims to evaluate the effects of a specialized physiotherapy protocol aimed at the motor function of children with Congenital Zika Virus Syndrome. First, participants' anthropometric parameters (weight and length) and motor functions were assessed. After that participant were splited in two groups: Experimental group that uunderwent a one-hour daily protocol (5 times a week) of stimuli and handling based on the neuroevolutionary concept, and motor physical therapy with therapeutic garments (PediaSuit).
