Perfil das crianças com disfunção neuromotoras atendidas no serviço de fisioterapia em uma instituição filantrópica

Abstract

Philanthropic institutions are geared towards underprivileged populations in need of specialized care. In this way, the provision of physiotherapy services in these organizations is important in order to serve the community in general. The main objective was to describe the profile of children treated at a physiotherapy service in a philanthropic institution in Teresina. This is a retrospective, exploratory and descriptive study, which was carried out with the medical records of children, aged less than or equal to 8 years, seen between the months of April 2021 and March 2025 at a philanthropic institution in Teresina for the treatment of neuromotor conditions. The clinical profile of the children treated at SOADF showed a male predominance (62.85%) and an age range of 1 to 3 years. The majority were delivered by caesarean section (88.57%) and at term (42.85%). Cerebral palsy was the most common dysfunction (54.34%) and all the mothers of the children attended antenatal appointments. Thus, the clinical profile at the institution is marked by the prevalence of cerebral palsy, cesarean deliveries and prenatal care by all mothers
