简要总结
Functionality and motor skills during activities of daily living have progressively gained importance as tools for classification, assessment and research of neuromotor disorders and the treatment methodology according to Dr. Vojta or Reflex Locomotion follows this criterion in the clinical field. Vojta therapy is a commonly extended tool in the field of pediatric rehabilitation. This methodology acts on the ontogenic postural function and automatic postural control, on which different environmental aspects will later act. It is not a functional training, to avoid the voluntary movement available according to the pathology by means of compensations. Vojta therapy would be the key to unlock the development of gross motor function, later used in the movement of daily life activities, including other therapies such as conventional physiotherapy, sensory stimulation, occupational therapy, etc. This study aims to demonstrate that there are changes in the motor development of children with cerebral palsy with the application of Vojta Therapy.

盲法说明
Neither the therapists nor the evaluators of the GMFM may be blinded to the type of treatment administered due to the organization of the Rehabilitation service where the study is carried out, as well as the "face-to-face" requirements for carrying out the Vojta therapy and the evaluation. of that scale. However, the assessment of the Infant Motor Profile (IMP) is performed by observing a protocolized video recording. This would allow the quantification of this escape by an evaluator external to the service (in this case the external Principal Investigator). This would allow not only to blind the evaluator regarding the type of intervention that the child receives, but also if the video belongs to pre or post intervention. To do this, the videos will be sent encrypted and randomized for quantification

结局指标
主要结局
Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM).
时间窗: Baseline and immediately after the intervention
Gross motor function and mobility have important roles for classification, assessment and research involving children with neuromotor disorders. Gross Motor Function Measure could be currently considered as gold standard for the quantification of gross motor function in the pediatric rehabilitation. Maximum and minimum scores on the GMFM may vary depending on age and the specific dimension being assessed (0-88). In general, a score of 100% on a dimension would indicate that the child has a motor skill level equivalent to that of a nondisabled child of the same age on that dimension.
Infant Motor Profile (IMP) scale
时间窗: Baseline and immediately after the intervention
The Infant Motor Profile scale is another evidence-based method of assessing infant motor behavior. It not only quantifies motor milestones, but also movement quality by analysing five factors: variability, adaptation, symmetry, fluency, and capacity. The advantage of this scale is that the assessment is performed through video recording, allowing to have a dedicated clinical evaluator blinded to the type of intervention. There is no specific maximum or minimum IMP score value, as the scores are interpreted in relation to typical motor development skills for the child's age. In general, a higher PMI score indicates better motor development, while a lower score may suggest delays in motor development.
