Outlook for the Use of Neurodevelopmental Therapy in Children with Perinatal Central Nervous System Damage: a Review

INTRODUCTION. The significant incidence of perinatal damage to the central nervous system (CNS) and the high risk of its adverse outcomes determine the relevance of medical rehabilitation of such children. Kinesiotherapy methods, being the most physiological and gentle, take a leading place in the s...

description INTRODUCTION. The significant incidence of perinatal damage to the central nervous system (CNS) and the high risk of its adverse outcomes determine the relevance of medical rehabilitation of such children. Kinesiotherapy methods, being the most physiological and gentle, take a leading place in the system of rehabilitation measures for patients with perinatal damage to the CNS. In recent years, there has been renewed interest in the use of Bobath neurodevelopmental therapy, aimed at correcting pathological motor stereotypes and the formation of age-related motor skills through sensory stimulation of proprioception. AIM. To analyze the scientific data of the last ten years on the use of Bobath-therapy in the medical rehabilitation of children with perinatal damage to the CNS. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The search for scientific research was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, and eLIBRARY.RU databases for the period from 2015 to 2025. The following keywords were used: “neurodevelopmental therapy”, Bobath-therapy, “perinatal nervous system injury”, “hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy”, “cerebral palsy”, “children”. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. Bobath-therapy is widely used in practical healthcare, being one of the most frequently used technologies in the field of neurorehabilitation. The data on the positive effect of neurodevelopmental therapy using the Bobath method on muscle tone, the function of maintaining static and dynamic balance, and the motor development of children are presented. There was a decrease in the manifestations of oral motor dysfunction, salivation, and improved chewing when using this method. CONCLUSION. Literature data on the effectiveness of Bobath-therapy in patients with cerebral palsy and a limited number of studies on use of this method in the medical rehabilitation of children with perinatal nervous system damage indicate the need for further research in this direction.
