摘要：The Vojta therapy was developed due to pediatrician neurologist professor Dr. Václav Vojta. During his whole career he had been studying infants’ patterns of movement and he discovered 10 stimulation areas at the body level, for activating the central nervous system. While combining these areas, new postures and locomotion patterns for children suffering from cerebral paralysis and posture disorders were identified. The working positions studied by Dr. Václav Vojta were the supine position, the side lying and the prone position (Vojta, 2007, Tulburarile cerebrale de mișcare la vârsta sugarului – Diagnostic și terapie precoce, ediția a - 8-a, Editura Hippokrates). Methods. The object of this study is represented by an infant diagnosed with developmental coordination disorder – prematurity, who went through the Vojta therapy. The testing method aimed identifying the locomotion potential of infant G.M., while performing the following tests: Moro reflex, Galant reflex, rooting reflex (of searching), head lifting reaction, palmar grasp reflex and plantar reflex. Results. While doing this research, I tried to activate reflex locomotion after Vojta, using the third basic positions: supine position, prone position and side lying. The pattern of movement’s activation is realised through the combination and variation of resistance and activation areas localised on the body, arms and legs, while producing small changes of the pressing direction and the articular angle at the starting point, the therapy being individually adapted to each and every patient, according to their medical file and the therapy’s target. Conclusions. The purpose is discovering the highest global pattern, not only in supine position, but also in prone position in order to identify the constant deviations of the patient. The constant deviations once established, one can discover the main problem and the functional and proper target of the patient. After setting these aspects, the therapy program can be started. After the therapy program is finalised, the patient will be checked again and compared from the point of view of the highest global pattern.
