| Sumario: | <i>Background and Objectives</i>: Vojta therapy is used by physiotherapists and is based on stimulation through peripheral pressure that leads to the activation of involuntary motor response patterns, thus triggering patterns of reflex locomotion, hence also called reflex locomotion therapy. Objective: To analyze the changes produced by Vojta therapy in the evolution of infant motor development in patients with maturational delay due to periventricular leukomalacia. <i>Materials and methods</i>: One session of Vojta Therapy per week for eleven months, patients’ neuromotor development was evaluated through the Denver II Test and the Baleys Scale. <i>Results</i>: A clinically significant increase in the development of the patients is observed. <i>Conclusions</i>: Neuromotor development seems to generate an adequate progression in the motor area. |
