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). On the other hand, the control group (CG) kept the therapeutic routine (conventional physical therapy).

Experimental Group (stimuli and handling; physical therapy [PediaSuit])

Participants underwent 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). During therapy based in PediaSuit protocol therapy suits were used to stimulate proprioception, muscle contraction, and postural stability.Traction bands were placed on the trunk to stimulate muscle control by stabilizing this area and the antigravity muscles.The ability exercise unit was also used to stimulate postural stability and muscle resistance, according to the functional ability of each child. Neuroevolutionary concept is a problem-solving approach focused on the treatment of functional impairments, postural alignment and movement. Therefore, Neuroevolutionary concept is an individualised approach aimed at improving functionality and, consequently, the quality of life of individuals with neurological deficits.

OTHER

control group (conventional physical therapy)

Participants kept the therapeutic routine (conventional physical therapy).
