Personal area PIMT INTERNATIONAL CLUB

In this article we describe the psychopedagogical classification of learning difficulties and their incidence in Spain in recent years. It allows to understand the school reality and its difficulties.

In this mini-review of 2017 we can see the clear relationship between plagiocephaly and neurodevelopmental problems. Good introduction to cranial asymmetries.

Form used by pediatric neurologists and child psychiatrists to determine attention deficit with or without activity. It allows to understand what a diagnosis based on symptoms and not on the causes.

One of the works (2013), that show how pre-school children who had plagiocephaly presented lower results in neurodevelopmental assessment. This justifies again the reprogramming PIMT in this type of babies.

A relevant article (2016) about the relationship between neural development in specific moments within the first year and its correlation with different cognitive aspects at ages 5 and 6. It focuses on different aspects related to language. It is a very interesting text to support the relationship between neural development and cognition in children.

In this work of 2014, the authors criticize the use of helmet despite the large number of items in favor. They do it because of the high cost and the evolution of those who do not.

Very interesting work from 2013 on the possible relationship between laterality and language development in humans from an evolutionary, anthropological and biological perspective.

Revision in Spanish of 2008 on the main problems in relation to childbirth, all from a medical perspective. Well developed and classified.

Interesting work of 2016 in which the relationships between low birth weight and the consequent problems of development in pre-school age are seen. It helps to justify PIMT in development for all babies at risk cause of their birth weight.

Work of 2015 in which different findings are confirmed in primitive reflexes and abnormal motor patterns in children with autism spectrum problems. We can appreciate how the work of the circuits in PIMT is interesting for children with different kind of pathology.

Document (2015) very useful that shows the severity scale of a plagiocephaly according to its Cranial Vault Asymmetry Index. It allows to understand the situation of each baby in relation to their craniometric measurements.

2009 study that shows how babies with torticollis are much more at risk of having a developmental delay. Again, it shows the need to integrate PIMT function in the work of PIMT structure.

Publication that validates the use of the Alberta Scale for the Spanish population. Very useful to justify our work and use this scale in the reports to pediatricians. Every year PIMT offers a workshop for the use of this scale.

An interesting article published in the journal Human Resources for Health on the 10 principles that make it possible to create a good multidisciplinary team. PIMT is particularly focused on the collaboration between different professionals. Highly recommendable!

En este artículo se estudia el comportamiento motor desde una perspectiva de los sistemas de desarrollo. Destaca la forma en la que se muestra la postura como la base estable para la locomoción, las acciones manuales o mímicas. Un gran artículo sobre desarrollo.

En este paper del 2017, de hace una evaluación de las ventajas del tiempo en prono y de las consecuencias de no tenerlo en cuenta tanto sobre la plagiocefalia como para el neurodesarrollo. Un buen artículo para sostener la educación de familias y profesionales, para justificar las lineas de pensamiento que premian el “supino”.

Interesante clasificación de los problemas de alimentación en bebés y niños. Destaca la idea de que la nutrición de un niño es un tema de relación entre el nutridor y el niño, por lo que los comportamientos del nutridor también han de tenerse en cuenta.

Articulo fundamental sobre Biological Nurturing. Un estudio sobre la influencia de las posiciones del bebé y la madre en la lactancia y en la calidad de los reflejos primitivos. Muy recomendable.

Gran revisión sobre factores estructurales y funcionales de las dificultades de succión-deglución. Muy interesante.

In this interesting and recent article of 2019, the authors clearly gather the recommendations for the parents of caera to prevent asymmetries and torticolis.
Prone at least 3 times per day, development positions, review of development delays, etc. It also gives clues about the evaluation
of the physiotherapist and the need to gain passive and active rotation and educate parents.  A great summary highly recommended

It is interesting to know the specific WHO recommendations regarding fundamental aspects of child development such as physical activity,
the amount of time in front of a screen and sleep. These possible interference factors have to be present for a PIMT physiotherapist in front of a family with a child with developmental problems.

This article is key to understanding TMPi’s evolutionary model for nervous system programming. Experimental evidence of the relationship between automated skills and connection circuits between cortex and basal ganglia is reviewed. It also allows from a scientific perspective to update the concept of MacLean’s triune brain.

Interesting article by Ohman, great specialist in congenital torticollis, on the quantification of cervical involvement in babies using the MFS Test. They use our Fernandez test to do so but with a value for the different neck positions. Although something is left… guess what…
