Perfetti Method as a comprehensive neurocognitive approach for post-stroke hemiplegia
Abstract
In the treatment of patients with neurological sequelae, especially hemiplegia derived from cerebrovascular accident (CVA), it is urgent to reconsider the traditional therapeutic approach from a more comprehensive and neurocognitive perspective. In this sense, the Perfetti method, also called cognitive therapeutic exercise, represents a promising intervention strategy, which combines motor rehabilitation and cortical stimulation, aimed at recovering higher functions through the patient's sensory and motor reorganization.
