Abstract
La meningitis bacteriana es una inflamación rápidamente progresiva de las meninges cerebrales causada por la bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae. Pese a que existen avances significativos en la profilaxis y el tratamiento, la meningitis neumocócica sigue considerándose una enfermedad infecciosa relevante a nivel mundial, asociada con una alta mortalidad y morbilidad. Además, las enfermedades infecciosas del sistema nervioso central suponen un importante factor de riesgo para padecer una parálisis cerebral infantil; se trata de una afectación compleja que resulta del daño cerebral inmaduro e implica limitación del movimiento y déficit del control postural. De esta manera, el objetivo del trabajo de fin de grado es exponer y describir la mejor evidencia disponible que plantee un tratamiento beneficioso y una intervención precoz de la parálisis cerebral. Se ha podido comprobar en el trabajo que, mediante la propuesta de un tratamiento fisioterápico específico es posible influir en la plasticidad neuronal optimizando los patrones de postura y movimiento del niño.
Bacterial meningitis is a rapidly progressive inflammation of the cerebral meninges caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae. Although there are significant advances in prophylaxis and treatment, pneumococcal meningitis continues being considered a relevant infectious disease worldwide, associated with high mortality and morbility. In addition, infectious diseases of the central nervous system are an important risk factor in children for suffering from cerebral palsy. It is a complex affection that results from immature brain damage and implies movement limitation and postural control deficit. In this way, the aim of the project is exposing and describing the best available evidence that proposes the most beneficial treatment and the early intervention of cerebral palsy. It has been possible to verify that, by means of the proposal of a specific physical therapy treatment, to influence neuronal plasticity by optimizing the child´s posture and movement patterns.
