Abstract

The Cerebral palsy is a set of neuromuscular disorders that affect the development of movement and posture. The Le Métayer Concept contributes to the treatment of cerebral palsy through a therapeutic motor education program to achieve an improvement in the body scheme and psychomotor development. This paper aims to determine the benefits of the application of the Le Métayer Concept, in children aged 6 to 12 years with cerebral palsy, who attend SERLI. A study of quantitative approach, explanatory scope, non-experimental design of longitudinal type was carried out; for which the Guy Tradieu Scale, Gross Motor Scale and Modified factorial clinical evaluation were applied. The results obtained from the Gross Motor Scale according to the range of 0 - 3, it is verified that the patients obtain a range of 3 performing 100% in the assigned activities, representing 50% in head control, 38% turning, 22% sitting , 18% reptation and 6% in standing; in the Guy Tardieu Scale, patients reflect that 16% perform impossible function, 24% correspond to difficult function (slowness, tiredness, need for technical help), 24% possible function but anomalies visible by people and 36% of the sample I have abnormalities visible only by the physiotherapist. Conclusion: There is a regulation of motor skills when executing the movements, so they help the child's learning and proprioception.
