| Popis: | BACKGROUND: Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) currently embraces evidence-based concepts of motor control, motor learning and neuroplasticity. However, most research has been performed on outdated models of NDT. OBJECTIVE: This case series examines the short- and long-term outcomes of a three-week intensive using contemporary NDT interventions. METHODS: Six children, 2–10 years old with neurologic disorders and Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I-III participated in the intervention. The three-week intensive included 60 minutes of physical, occupational and speech therapy 3–5 times weekly. RESULTS: All children demonstrated Gross Motor Function Measure-66 gains of medium to large effect sizes. These gains were maintained or improved upon 3 months’ post conclusion of the intensive intervention. CONCLUSIONS: This study supports emerging research regarding the effectiveness of intensive intervention and further study of current NDT interventions. |
