Area of Science:

  • Pediatric physical therapy
  • Neurorehabilitation
  • Developmental pediatrics

Background:

  • Neurodevelopmental delay impacts motor function and muscle tone.
  • Conventional therapeutic approaches exist but may have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy of the Neurofacilitation of Developmental Reaction (NFDR) approach versus a conventional approach.
  • To assess the impact on muscle tone modulation in children with neurodevelopmental delay.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental control design with 30 spastic children (4-7 years).
  • Two groups: NFDR approach (Group A) and conventional approach (Group B).
  • Intervention duration of 3 months with pre- and post-evaluations of muscle tone and motor function.

Main Results:

  • Statistical analyses included independent t tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, paired t tests, and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.
  • Detailed results comparing between-group and within-group changes in tone, reflex intensity, and motor function were analyzed.

Conclusions:

  • The NFDR approach prepares muscles for tonal modulation.
  • NFDR enhances motor development and improves functional performance in children with neurodevelopmental delay.
