Early Neuropsychomotor Intervention, Treatment and Assessment

06/09/2026

Neonatal neuropsychomotor therapy is an essential discipline to accompany the global development of the newborn in the first months of life. In this critical period, the central nervous system shapes itself through sensory stimuli, motor experiences, and affective relationships that influence the formation of fundamental neurobehavioral patterns.Through careful observation and targeted intervention, it is possible to promote postural organization, sensory modulation, and motor control, key elements for a correct neurodevelopmental growth. These interventions are specific and require dedicated and in-depth professional skills, since every child presents unique characteristics that need personalized approaches.Neonatal neuropsychomotor therapy is based on consolidated and updated scientific knowledge that combines neurology, psychomotor therapy, and child development, with the aim of preventing future difficulties and promoting lasting well-being. Investing in this field means acting in an early and targeted way, valuing every stimulus and care in the first months of life, which are fundamental for health and the quality of growth.

🧠 Balance & Coordination in Child Neurodevelopment: Check out this interesting scientific overview (2024-2025) on how structured skating and sliding activities support early child development.When adapted through a play-based approach, these experiences are excellent for boosting dynamic balance, core stability, and motor coordination in childhood.Full research details in the infographic below! 👇

1. Figure Skating and Motor Development in Children - 2024

Sample & Design: Controlled study involving 80 young girls (skating group vs. control group) over a duration of 9 months (Age: 5–10 years).
Main Results: The skating group showed significant improvements in static and dynamic balance, as well as in fundamental motor skills, compared to the control group.
Take-home message: Skating can improve balance and motor skills in children.

2. Ice Skating and Postural Control in Children - 2014

Sample & Design: Controlled study following 23 adolescents over 8 sessions (Age: 13 years).
Main Results: After 8 sessions of ice skating, participants showed significant improvements in static and dynamic balance compared to the control group.
Take-home message: Even a short cycle of skating improves postural control.

3. Skating Program for Early Childhood - 2024

Sample & Content: Development and validation of a program integrating motor phases with skating, spin, and jump. Tested on a sample of experts + children (Age: 5–7 years).
Main Results: A structured and validated program based on the early childhood motor development stages.
Take-home message: The approach for early stages is effective and safe for children aged 5–7.

4. Biomechanical Differences in Jumps - 2025

Sample & Design: Biomechanical analysis of 11 young skaters (Age: ~12 years).
Main Results: As the number of rotations in jumps (Axel) increases, hip flexion and lower limb muscle activation increase.
Take-home message: Technical complexity requires greater strength and neuromuscular control.

5. Injury Epidemiology and Risk Factors - 2025

Sample & Design: Systematic review including 29 studies analyzing 4,202 skaters.
Main Results: Most common injuries occur in the ankle, knee, and wrist. Risk factors include age, technical level, jump type, training volume, and practice surfaces.
Take-home message: Prevention, technical progression, and physical preparation are essential.

6. Roller Skating and Global Motor Development - 2025

Sample & Design: Controlled study tracking 240 children over a duration of 12 weeks (Age: 3–6 years).
Main Results: All groups improved, but roller skating showed lower increases compared to basketball and physical training on the motor score (TGMD-3).
Take-home message: The type of activity matters; context and structure make the difference.

MOVEMENT AS CARE
The Science of Movement in Early Childhood
03/06 — OBSERVE 👁️
Science-guided movement requires a deep understanding of non-verbal communication.
Observation, active listening and clinical sensitivity allow us to decode what a child communicates through their body and actions.
Observing movement means listening to the child's voice.

Oltre ogni "metodo": la persona al primo posto:

Nell'ambito della riabilitazione e dell'abilitazione, si tende spesso a cercare il metodo giusto: un modello o un protocollo da seguire.

Tuttavia, nessun metodo è in grado di cogliere appieno la complessità e l'unicità di una persona.

La pratica clinica non consiste nell'applicare tecniche in modo meccanico. Si tratta invece di osservare, interpretare, adattare e prendere decisioni consapevoli in base alla persona che abbiamo di fronte.

Gli approcci basati sulle evidenze offrono quadri di riferimento preziosi, ma non dovrebbero mai sostituire il RAGIONAMENTO CLINICO.

Quando un intervento non funziona, non dobbiamo chiederci solo come far sì che la persona vi si adatti.

Dobbiamo chiederci anche:

Cosa occorre modificare nell'intervento?

La riabilitazione è un processo DINAMICO, plasmato dalla persona, dalla relazione, dal contesto e da una costante osservazione clinica.

La persona non deve mai doversi adattare al metodo.

Il metodo deve rimanere sufficientemente flessibile da adattarsi alla persona.

02/06 — RELATE 🤝

Science-guided movement begins within a meaningful relationship.

Connection, emotional security and attentive interaction create the conditions for a child to explore the world through body and movement.

Relationship is the foundation of meaningful movement.
