A

neurodevelopmental therapy

18
Q

aim of neurodevelopmental therapy

A

gain the highest possible level of functionality in children with neurodevelopmengal ddisotders

19
Q

what are the type of key points

A

proximal and distal

20
Q

when is distal keypoint used

A

if the child has some postural control proximally

21
Q

things ro ensure while performing keypoint activities with the risky infants

A

proper body alignment
active repitition
spreading the therapy throughout the day

22

in what ways can you stimulate the babies

A

tactile stimulation
vestibular stimulation
vibration
proprioceptive stimulation
sound

23
Q

why do we use constraint induced movement therapy and who do we use it on

A

to increase the use of the affected extrimity
on children who are prone to develop unilateral cp

24
