METHOD FOR GAME-BASED MOTION REACTIVATION AND COORDINATION RECOVERY IN CHILDREN AS PART OF EARLY REHABILITATION FOLLOWING SPINAL-MEDULLARY INJURY Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61H1/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: regular therapeutic exercises are performed with using a set of 11 exercises including a game-based method of treatment, with following a sequence in accordance with the patent claim. The exercises include coordinated movements of arms, shoulders, trunk, head, particularly with handling things, passing a ball, shifting body weight from one to the other side, with using front- and back-supported standing frame, maintaining stable body position. Child's adaptation movements are controlled by a supervising trainer who follows functional relations in treating neural-muscular disorders and an interaction of three body levels: head - eyes, thoracic girdle - upper extremities, pelvis - lower extremities. Spatial movements of each body part enables causing desired righting reflexes and performing required movements. Everyday exercises and repetition stimulation enables reinforcing these reflexes causing linear muscular contractions as a result of the interaction of a group of muscles fibres of which generally extend in the longitudinal direction, lining up an aimed movement action.

EFFECT: method provides early acquisition of compensatory-substitutive movement skills required to recover a reflex-movement pattern, activation of child's movements and substantive work through stimulating an orientation reaction, dexterity and training of coordination, return of independence, activity and social skills.
