Ludwika Sadowska, Maria B. Pecyna – Early and late neurostimulation in children with Down’s Syndrome using the Wroclaw Rehabilitation Model (WMU) and the level of concentration of attention. Fizjoterapia Polska 2001; 1(1); 9-16

Abstract
Background. Morphological changes of cerebral cortex and early aging of the brain may suggest altered bioelectrical activity reflected by the rhythms of beta and theta waves in children with Down’s syndrome. Results. The cognitive potential of children with Down’s syndrome treated with early neurostimulation using the Wrocław Rehabilitation Model (WMU) in infancy was higher than in Down’s children treated after the age of 3. during neurostimulation by the Vojta method increased amplitudes of beta wave rhythm were obtained, along with reduced theta amplitudes. Conclusion. The early neurostimulation of children with Down’s syndrome from the first months of life significantly improves their concentration and increases their mental activity, which helps them to achieve a better start in life.

Key words:
neurostimulation, Down, brain wave rhythms, concentration
