Summary 

									
								

							

						

						
It repeatedly elicits a generalized motor response by applying appropriate stimuli to a specific site (induction zone) in a child with a certain posture. This response promotes breathing and swallowing, besides muscle contraction. The Vojta method may be beneficial for patients’ families despite no strong evidence provided in the rehabilitation guidelines for cerebral palsy.
