Spain1 participantsStarted 2024-01-22

Plain-language summary

This study describes a single pediatric case with hemiparesis who received a specialized physiotherapy intervention based on the Vojta method. The child, aged 15 years, was treated in a clinical setting by a physiotherapist certified in Vojta therapy during one intensive treatment session. Upper limb function was evaluated before and after the intervention using the Box and Block Test, as well as electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) recordings to explore changes in motor control and brain activity. The main purpose of this study is to document the feasibility and short-term effects of a Vojta-based physiotherapy session on upper limb function and neurophysiological parameters in a child with hemiparesis
