“La estimulación vestibular en el desarrollo motor grueso de una niña de 2 años de edad diagnosticada con el síndrome de seckel”

Abstract

Seckel syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by microcephaly, dwarfism and mental retardation, conditions that cause an alteration in growth and development in severe form; this syndrome was diagnosed in a patient at 2 years of age, time in which the psychomotor advance showed a significant delay. It is important to point out that at two months of age the patient had suffered from viral encephalitis, which also complicated her basic situation because it had caused neurological damage which concealed the genetic disorder. Faced with a picture of total temporary disability, it is proposed to use complementary treatments such as vestibular stimulation, a technique that allows working the movement, coordination, balance and tonicity of all the anatomical elements, which would allow in this case to improve the quality of life in a comprehensive and since it can be used from the prenatal stage the results are favorable, however in this case it has not yet been applied due to the ignorance of the doctor who has been taking the case, even so early stimulation has been applied what has been allowed the patient to initiate basic actions within her child development.
