Reciprocating orthotics complex (ROC) for children suffering from cerebral paralysis and spinal diseases

Abstract

In order to dissociate pathologic interaction of executive periphery and cerebral structures and to induce formation of new reflex bonds strengthened during treatment, it is necessary to produce mechanically forced targeted corrected locomotive motions by external energy. Thus, to provoke inborn reflexes and synergy (background levels) and to form forced (within the norm) dominants of highly automatic movements. © 2008 Springer-Verlag.
