Brief Summary
The patterns of reflex locomotion described by Vojta contain all the basic patterns necessary for gait, which can be observed as partial patterns during normal postural ontogenesis in the first year of life. These patterns are triggered throughout life regardless of age, so they can be activated both in healthy subjects and in the presence of neurological pathology in adult patients.

Vojta Therapy
EXPERIMENTALIn Vojta therapy, the therapist selectively presses certain areas of the body, with the patient lying prone, - supine or - lateral. These types of stimuli, in humans of any age, provoke automatically and without their own initiative, that is, without the active voluntary collaboration of the person
Control Group
PLACEBO COMPARATORIn the control group, a placebo intervention is administered, similar to an experimental intervention
Interventions
Reflex locomotion is activated by the "reflexogenic" pathway. In context with reflex locomotion, the term "reflex" does not represent the mode of neuronal control, but rather refers to defined, "automatic" and always equal motor responses produced by external stimuli, applied therapeutically.
In the control group, a placebo intervention is administered, similar to an experimental intervention
Eligibility Criteria
