  JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF INTELLECTUAL & DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES The theory of "fractality of sensations” links to the development and maintenance of the optimal complexity of the networks and functional activity of the brain with the complexity of the visual and other environmental signals that affect the person during the life. The need to control and maintain healthy fractal dynamics during the lifespan by using the natural and artificial cues of complex structure and dynamics was substantiated. In pathological conditions, when the dynamics of the rhythmic brain activity is disordered, or a simplification of visible environmental stimuli occurs, technologies of nonlinear stimulation therapy can be especially helpful. The use of complex stimuli can promote recovery of the brain in the aging, neurodegenerative diseases and amblyopia, acting through the reactivation of neuroplasticity. We argue here that nonlinear stimulation therapy can sig...

  JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF INTELLECTUAL & DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES Introduction: The gait is a central function in the neuropsychological development of the normal child and in neuromotor diseases such as PCI. Spasticity is a major problem that prevents the development of motor functions remaining in these patients, thus producing a limited participation in recreational and sports activities and social activities. The synergistic action of the FET and the BTX-A can be a valuable aid, as the transient inhibition of muscle spasticity, can allow the subject to learn to reorganize through the rehabilitation intervention movement in a different way, in order to reduce the functional limitations in the lower limbs allowing a greater motor skills and thus a better quality of life. Material and methods: 2 groups of 15 patients (PCI form paraparetic) mean age 9.3±3.2 years. Patients at recruiting visit (T0) had spastic hypertonia borne muscles of t...
