[Developmental consultation conducted by Yokohama Rehabilitation Center at health welfare offices--combination of early impairment detection and support nursing].
We report here the results of developmental consultation carried out at Yokohama City health welfare offices. From October 1992 to March 1998, we consulted 666 cases aged 1 to 56 months old. We made full use of the reflex rolling I of Vojta for therapeutic diagnosis, and conducted physical training for babies. The reflex rolling I was very useful in diminishing the mother's anxiety about nursing problems such as weak suckling, sleep disturbance and constipation. Since it is important to combine the early detection of impairments with the support for nursing, advices to achieve better development were given to the parents and children. In our developmental consultation we could select babies at risk early and thereby start therapy for them smoothly.
