To keep privacy, the real name of the child was changed, and her personal information will not be mentioned, only the motor level at the beginning and at the end of the 4 days of CME physical therapy. Rachel was 5 years old when she came to CME physical therapy for the first time in July 1996 by the recommendation of other satisfied parents. Her diagnosis was developmental delay with motor and mental impairment detected in the post natal period. She began conventional stimulation immediately after diagnosis and the physical therapy intervention when Rachel was younger than 1 year old.

The CME physical therapy initial assessment results showed a functional motor level equivalent to 10/11 months of a standard motor development performance. Her head and trunk control were appropriate and the highest motor function was “walking supported by 2 hands”. Rachel was unable to maintain a free standing posture, neither was she able to initiate free steps, furthermore, she was taking the maximum of standing control from the hands of the parents and holding her trunk inclined forward. Her parents brought her for an 8 session program and the following inserted pictures illustrate Rachel’s evolution during the 4 days of CME physical therapy.

This type of quick motor progress is not the norm in to the CME physical therapy interventions, furthermore, to obtain positive results constant effort from the families and therapist is necessary and perseverance with no dismay to stimulate the child until achieving the wanted motor response under only one condition: the brain must assimilate and organize the postural-functional motor information. The results of CME physical therapy in Rachel’s case was exactly the aim of the parents, and a very important issue for Rachel’s family because the achievement of independent walking was the missing part that conventional motor therapy did not achieve in four years of regular intervention.

There are many cases like Rachel in which the CME physical therapy intervention by Ramon Cuevas or by other CME physical therapy practitioners, was the turning point in the life of many children and their families, maybe taking more time to achieve the positive motor responses, but marking an objective advantage when compared to the former motor therapy that those children were receiving.
