The Impact of Rehabilitation Carried out Using the Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration Method in Children with Cerebral Palsy on the Results of Brain Stem Auditory Potential Examinations
Journal Title: Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine - Year 2012, Vol 21, Issue 3
Abstract
[b]Background.[/b] Rehabilitation therapy in children with neuromotor development disorders can be carried out with the use of various methods. [b]Objectives.[/b] The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of rehabilitation carried out with the use of the new therapeutic method MNRI® (Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration) in children with cerebral palsy (CP) by objective measurements with a Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials (BAEP) examination. [b]Material and Methods.[/b] Besides the known parameters, Interpeak Latency I-V (IPL I-V) in BAEP, an original parameter proposed by Pilecki was introduced, called a relative IPL I-V value. The study involved a group of 17 children (9 girls and 8 boys) aged from 1.3 to 5.9 years (mean = 3.8 years, SD = 1.3) with cerebral palsy. Due to difficulty in co-operation, analysis of only 15 children could be finished. [b]Results.[/b] Analysis of the absolute IPL I-V values showed that after rehabilitation the percentage of the results with slowed transmission, i.e. those in which the IPL I-V value was prolonged, decreased from more than 88% to 60%. The assessment of the relative IPL I-V values showed that the results obtained after rehabilitation are more advantageous. [b]Conclusions[/b]. As a result of rehabilitation carried out by the MNRI® method in children with CP, a significant improvement in the transmission in the brain stem section of the auditory pathway was observed based on the absolute and relative IPL I-V values. However, the change obtained in children was various.
