Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the benefits of the PediaSuit protocol on Gross Motor Function (GMFM-66) in Patients with Cerebral Palsy (CP). Methods: This is an integrative bibliographic review, based on the selection of 20 articles, considering as inclusion criteria, studies that describe the application of Intensive Neuromotor Therapy (TNI) through the PediaSuit protocol in children with CP, focusing on GMFM-66; clinical diagnosis of cerebral palsy, performed between individuals of both sexes; functional diagnosis, mild to moderate, aged 3 to 15 years; PediaSuit protocol. In view of these criteria, 5 articles were used specifically, 1 longitudinal observational study with 22 children, 1 cross-sectional study with 5 children and 3 case studies with 1 child. Results: The study showed that the PediaSuit protocol showed progress in rehabilitation, especially in the continuous adjustment, between the agonist and antagonist muscles. The benefits favor reciprocal innervation, as an essential factor for motor coordination, functional gains and skills acquisition. Final considerations: PediaSuit presents itself as an important therapeutic method in the treatment of children with CP. However, due to the scarcity of a greater volume of research on effectiveness, it is necessary that further studies are carried out, to demonstrate its effectiveness.
