Motor development of a child with Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome submitted to physio therapeutic intervention

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Analyze the motor behavior of a child with Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome under physical therapy stimulation. METHOD: This is a case study realized with a child diagnosed with SRT, evaluated before, during, and after physiotherapy sessions, through the Alberta Infant Motor Scale. The treatment was fulfilled at the Sun Ray Integration Center located in the Santa Maria neighborhood, in Aracaju / SE in which the ducts were applied three times a week for 50 minutes and consisted in the training of neuroevolutionary postures. RESULTS: It was verified an increase in all postures scores in the second and third evaluations, which shows an improvement in motor development. CONCLUSION: The Physiotherapeutic intervention can bring benefits to treat the characteristic delay of SRT, confirming the importance of further studies investigating motor performance and the effect of early stimulation in children with this syndrome.
