Background: Infantile cerebral palsy is a neurological pathology that causes great morbidity, mortality, and disability in people who suffer from it, mainly affecting motor development. There are a multitude of non-pharmacological methods or therapies for its treatment. One of the main methods is Vojta therapy. This methodology acts on ontogenetic postural function and automatic postural control.
Objective: This study aims to demonstrate that there are changes in the motor development of children with cerebral palsy with the application of Vojta therapy.
Methods And Analysis: This is a randomized controlled trial on the effectiveness of two neurorehabilitation techniques in patients with cerebral palsy conducted at the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Service of the Teresa Herrera Maternal and Child Hospital of the A Coruña and Cee Health Area. The study will be conducted from January 2023 to December 2024. There will be two groups: the Vojta therapy group ( = 30) and the conventional physiotherapy group ( = 30). The measurement variables will be gross motor function as measured by the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) and Infant Motor Profile (IMP) scales.
Ethics And Dissemination: The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the University of Murcia (1823/2018) and Comité de Ética de la Investigación de A Coruña-Ferrol (2022/099).
Trial Registration Number: ClinicalTrials.gov; identifier: NCT06092619.

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.

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.

Chronic low back pain (LBP) is very common, resulting in functional deficits and significant socio-economic burden. Non-pharmacological treatments, such as physical-psychological therapy, are frequently utilized. Vojta therapy (VT) is a type of physical therapy that effectively enhances the automatic control of body posture.
