What are the Global Motor Patterns?
Global Motor Patterns form the foundation of human movement and represent genetically predetermined elements of uprighting. They are activated during the postural development in the first months of child’s life in the specific sequence from less to more complex. The Global Motor Patterns remain essential for control of posture and stability of the spine – the pivotal center of the entire locomotor system through the life of the individual. What is the scientific basis for the DNS therapy? The scientific basis for the DNS is the principle of Reflex Locomotion. The concept was first formulated empirically by Prof. Vojta who used it for diagnosis and treatment of adult and pediatric neurological conditions of various degrees of severity ranging from motor delays to Cerebral palsy. His theory has since been expanded and factually substantiated by prolific physiological and neurological research. In Europe Vojta therapy has been the method of choice for the treatment of Cerebral Palsy, moto
