In this study, the effect of the Vojta approach on neck stability and static balance in children with hypotonia was studied.
Seventeen children with hypotonia were randomly divided into the Vojta approach group (n=9) and the general physical therapy group (n=8). Each group was applied intervention for 30 minutes per session, 3 times a week, for a total of 4 weeks. Ultrasonography was used to measure deep neck flexor muscle thickness, craniovertebral angle (CVA) to measure neck alignment along the spine segment, and Balancia software program to measure static balance.
In the Vojta approach group, the deep neck flexor muscle thickness was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the CVA was significantly improved (P<0.05). In addition, path area among static balance was significantly improved (P<0.05).
The Vojta approach can be suggested as an effective intervention method for improving neck stability and static balance in children with hypotonia.
本研究探讨伏伊塔疗法对肌张力低下儿童颈部稳定性和静态平衡的影响。
将17例肌张力低下儿童随机分为伏伊塔疗法组（n = 9）和常规物理治疗组（n = 8）。每组每次干预30分钟，每周3次，共4周。采用超声测量颈部深层屈肌厚度，用颅椎角（CVA）测量沿脊柱节段的颈部排列情况，并用Balancia软件程序测量静态平衡。
伏伊塔疗法组颈部深层屈肌厚度显著增加（P<0.05），CVA显著改善（P<0.05）。此外，静态平衡中的路径面积也显著改善（P<0.05）。
伏伊塔疗法可作为改善肌张力低下儿童颈部稳定性和静态平衡的有效干预方法。
