Fisioterapia na Síndrome de Seckel: proposta de intervenção através de estimulação sensório-motora

Abstract

Seckel syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic syndrome, with an incidence of less than 1 carrier every 1,000,000 births. Because of this low incidence, there is little published literature, mostly composed of medical articles reporting case without approach on methods of physiotherapy in cases of patients who have normal motor developmental delay. This paper proposes an intervention proposal of physiotherapy based on sensorimotor stimulation for Seckel syndrome patients with normal motor development delay. We conducted a case study of a patient with a clinical diagnosis of the syndrome, which was applied to the treatment instrument. The research began with a review of the Gross Motor Function Measure, the patient subsequently participated in eight sessions proposed by the instrument and was again evaluated. The measurement of the gains made by the patient to reduce the delay in normal motor development was assessed by comparing the initial and final assessments. We analyzed each patient evolution obtained by a percentage. The results obtained in this study shows the effectiveness of using the instrument of physical therapy through sensorimotor stimulation for patients with Seckel syndrome to decrease the delay in normal motor development and contributes to the literature on the subject.
