MEDEK therapy

Motor disorders can be extremely frustrating for both children and parents. Many children with motor impairments find it difficult to do things that come naturally to other babies, such as raising their heads, crawling, walking, and even eating. Fortunately, there is an effective approach to treating movement disorders known as MEDEK therapy.

MEDEK is a physiotherapeutic method that helps to develop gross motor skills in infants and children with movement disorders caused by neurological dysfunction.

In this blog post, we will find out what MEDEK therapy is, how it can help children with movement disorders, and where to go for treatment.

 

What is MEDEK therapy and how does it work?

MEDEK therapy (Dynamic Kinetic Stimulation Method) is a physiotherapeutic method that uses repetitive exercises to support the development of gross motor skills in infants and children with motor disorders caused by neurological dysfunction.

This type of therapy is based on the principle that by repeating an activity, the brain and nervous system will learn to better control “sick muscles”. Only when the child is exposed to the force of gravity, with the therapist’s grip as distal as possible, the proper stimulation is obtained.

The MEDEK method is very effective in treating a variety of motor disorders in infants and children, including:

  • Cerebral palsy
  • Hypotension
  • Spasticity
  • Down’s syndrome
  • Motor delay
  • Brain disorders (hernia, hydrocephalus)

Therapy can also help improve balance, coordination, and flexibility.

The therapist will create an individualized exercise program based on the individual needs and capabilities of the child.

How can MEDEK therapy help your child?

MEDEK therapy provokes the appearance of absent motor functions, while the child’s cooperation and motivation are not required.

 

MEDEK therapy aims to help children with motor disorders to develop and improve their motor skills.

MEDEK Therapy can help your baby in a number of ways, including:

  • Improving muscle strength and movement coordination
  • Will increase the range of motion
  • Improve balance and posture
  • Improvement of gross and fine motor skills
  • Stimulating cognitive development
  • Helping your child develop stronger self-esteem and confidence

 

If you are considering MEDEK treatment for your child, it is important to find a qualified therapist who has experience in rehabilitating children with movement disorders.

The therapist will work closely with you and your child to develop a treatment plan tailored to your child’s individual needs.

MEDEK therapy requires very close cooperation with parents. During this process, each parent receives personalized training to work together at home.
