DMI
Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) is a therapeutic technique used to improve automatic postural responses and promoting progress towards developmental milestones.
The goal of DMI is to provide a specific active motor response from the child to a defined dynamic exercise. DMI stimulates neuroplasticity to facilitate new neuronal connections and development of motor milestones.
Who would benefit from DMI?
Children diagnosed with any type of motor delay including conditions such as;
Down Syndrome
Cerebral Palsy
Global development delay
Hypotonia
Genetic disorders
Acquired brain injury
DMI focuses on:
Gross motor skills
Gradual progression
Alignment and postural control
Range of motion
Balance
Functional movements
Modifying abnormal patterns of movement
Global development
