And with respect to balance, 35 patients represented with 88% of the sample managed to keep it. In this way it is concluded that positive results and important benefits could be evidenced in the majority of patients with neurological alterations for this reason it is recommended to carry out an FNP treatment plan based on the Bobath technique within the area of rehabilitation of the educational unit.
