This group is treated according to Vojta therapy

This group does not receive treatment

The intervention is carried out using Vojta therapy for one month, with one session per day, 5 days a week. This therapy is carried out by an expert physiotherapist. Vojta therapy is a non-experimental, painless, non-invasive therapy with no adverse effects, which is based on triggering repeated motor reactions or innate movement patterns (reflex locomotion patterns) in the trunk and limbs based on defined stimuli and starting from specific postures.

Both groups will undertake a pre-treatment assessment, a post-treatment assessment at the end of the one-month intervention period, and a final follow-up assessment one month after the end of the intervention.

This test is a commonly used research tool in the assessment of the sensory organisation of postural control and has previously been used in children. The system's force platform provides data on the movement of the centre of gravity. Both the platform and the environment can move in response to the anteroposterior displacement of the child's body under certain conditions of sensory override or conflict. The child is asked to stand upright, barefoot, with arms alongside the body, feet placed in a certain position on the platform, for 20sec, trying to remain as stable as possible during the 3 trials of each of the 6 conditions of the SOT. For their safety, the child shall be restrained by a harness. In each test, the system compares the child's displacement with its theoretical limits of stability, generating a score. The higher the value, the better the stability. The software also calculates an overall score from the scores obtained in each of the 6 conditions

This is a clinical scale used to assess balance in children aged 5 to 15 years. It consists of 14 items (each rated at 0-4 points), is easy to perform, does not require specialised equipment and takes less than 15 minutes to complete. It is considered the paediatric alternative to the Berg Balance Scale in school-aged children with mild to moderate motor impairment, with good intra- and inter-observer reliability.
