Abstract

Introduction. A neonatal-perinatal stroke is the one that occurs from 28 weeks of gestation until 28 days of postnatal life. The prognosis of patients who suffer this type of event varies and causes long-term sequelae, which is why early identification, adequate diagnosis and timely therapeutic intervention are key to helping these children reach their maximum potential.

Objective. To design a sensorimotor neurorehabilitation protocol with ecological validity for the management of patients with a history of presumed neonatal-perinatal stroke.

Methods. A mixed, retrospective, cross-sectional, and descriptive study with a nested (imbricated) design was conducted. In Loop 1 (quantitative) scientific articles (n=18) were systematically reviewed to identify the main sensorimotor strategies; In Loop 2 (qualitative), two focus groups were established (five family members/five experts), from which the intervention strategies were obtained, and, finally, in Loop 3, the protocol was validated by a panel of experts using Kendall's coefficient of concordance (W).

Results. Loop 1: The articles were selected according to the Oxford levels of evidence 1, 2 and 3. Loop 2: Through the strategies reported, the following categories were identified: space, tools and mode. Loop 3: The protocol validation showed a mean W=0.89.

Conclusions. An ecologically valid sensorimotor neurorehabilitation protocol for patients with a history of presumed neonatal-perinatal stroke is characterized by collecting scientific evidence on sensorimotor intervention strategies; recognizing the perceptions and experiences of professionals and family members; containing criteria for content validation, and providing systemic guidelines for pediatric care such as the identification of the space, the tools and the mode for each sense.
