- Abstract
Analysing the causes of cerebral motor infirmity (CMI) in patients, it has been concluded -- actually, generally admitted that the following factors contribute to the complexity of remarked aspects: sensory disorders of different levels, spasticity, disorder of the postural reflex mechanism, lack of selective movement modalities. Sensory disorders are, in the majority of cases, the result of increased muscle tone. Increased tone and uncoordinated movements determine monstrous sensory images in the proprioceptors, which increase, in their turn, motor disorder. Each of these factors has its characteristics and specific features. There are methods that can help us in the treatment of CMI. We will present a point of view on some of them. Therapeutic education (Le Metayer -- a relaxation technique for the spastic upper limb, without the intervention of global ways, which was proposed by Bobath), where Matieu and subsequently Le Metayer introduce the association between the terms of education and therapy; global stimulation (Vojta); Kabat method -- appeared as a refinement of Kenny's method.
