Table 1. Some important treatment approaches used by pediatric physical therapists.
Techniques | Description |
Bobath approaches | This neurodevelopmental therapy is utilized to improve specific developmental stages, postural deformity or aberrant patterns, as well as to improve sensory input. |
Motor learning | Infants with cerebral palsy typically benefit from this practice. |
The Margaret Rood approach | This approach uses both superficial and deep stimulation to stimulate motor activity. |
The Doman-Delecto technique | It uses steady, repeating motions of patterns of natural sequential development movement to stimulate the brain's dormant central nervous system pathways. |
The Kabat-Knott-Voss technique | It uses practical movement patterns to facilitate proprioceptive neuromuscular function. |
