: 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. : One session of Vojta Therapy per week for eleven months, patients' neuromotor development was evaluated through the Denver II Test and the Baleys Scale. : A clinically significant increase in the development of the patients is observed. : Neuromotor development seems to generate an adequate progression in the motor area.

Background: Vojta Therapy (VT) is a neurorehabilitation approach that targets ontogenetic postural function and automatic body posture control. Research has shown its potential to enhance gait ability. However, limited evidence exists regarding its immediate effects on individuals with Down syndrome (DS).

Familial dysautonomia is a debilitating congenital neurodegenerative disorder with no causative therapy. It is caused by a homozygous mutation in ELP1 gene, resulting in the production of the transcript lacking exon 20. The compounds studied as potential treatments include the clinical candidate kinetin, a plant hormone from the cytokinin family.

Automatic gait evoking in healthy adults through Vojta's peripheric somatosensory stimulation: a double-blind randomized controlled trial.

Department of Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (URJC), Alcorcón, Madrid, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore how different interventions affect automatic gait processing compared to voluntary gait processing in healthy individuals, using a double-blind randomized controlled trial involving 120 participants aged 18 to 65.
- - Participants underwent various interventions for 30 minutes, including Vojta stimulation, MOTOMED, treadmill walking, and a control group, with their gait assessed using the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) and surface electromyography (sEMG) measurements.
- - Results showed that only the Vojta group exhibited automatic gait initiation after the intervention, significantly improving their distance covered in the 6MWT compared to other groups, which did not show any automatic gait effects.
