“Good afternoon!
I want to share the results of Valeria after a course of treatment, examinations and rehabilitation at the Akademik Medical Center in Moscow.
Rehabilitation exercise classes were aimed at improving coordination in space, balance, exercises for the development of gross motor skills. Lera, like a blind child, has impaired coordination due to a lack of movement, a lack of focus and lack of self-confidence. There is also poor coordination, incomplete range of motion, impaired arbitrariness of movements. By the end of the course of physiotherapy exercises, Valeria confidently kept on the balancing board, freely manipulating the ball. Her emotional well-being has improved, her coordination of movements has also improved, her back muscles have strengthened, which in the future will contribute to the correct formation of posture. Her sleep has improved, which is very important for Valeria, since she has epilepsy attacks mainly at night, when sleep is disturbed. Classes with a speech pathologist-defectologist were aimed at the development of speech, the production of consonant sounds, the development of fine motor skills, the development of facial expressions, the construction of sentences, the development of the grammatical structure of speech and the expansion of vocabulary. Development of emotional-tactile contact. Formation of auditory reactions, auditory attention and memory. Valeria has a general underdevelopment of speech of the 3rd level, characterized by a moderate deviation in the formation of various aspects of speech. After a course of classes with a speech pathologist-defectologist, Valeria’s speech became more coherent and detailed, after several classes we practically managed to put the sounds R and L, we also received recommendations for further classes at home on setting sounds. Classes were held in a playful way, so Valeria studied with interest and trust in the teacher. Valeria was examined, which will help her in the future to adjust the treatment for epilepsy, as well as for the possible partial restoration of vision. Passed night video EEG monitoring, which showed significant improvements compared to video EEG monitoring from January 2022. There is a lack of epileptiform activity and epilepsy attacks in sleep and wakefulness, there is an improvement in the functioning of the right hemisphere of the brain. An electrophysiological examination of the eyes (EPI) was performed, according to which Valeria’s visual acuity is approximately 0.04-0.08, which indicates the presence of light perception and the possibility of partial recovery with properly selected hardware and medication. which showed significant improvements over video EEG monitoring from January 2022.
