Abstract

The main objective of this study is to analyse the effects of stimulation kinesitherapy on psychomotor and cognitive development in these children followed by Severe Acute Malnutrition, aged 6 months to 59 months in the intensive nutritional educational recovery units. Prospective cohort study with 2 groups: one group subjected to stimulation Kinesitherapy and the other group without stimulation Kinesitherapy in six INERU in the District of Bamako. The population is represented by the children followed for Severe Acute Malnutrition, aged 6 months to 59 months in 6 of the 8 Bamako intensive nutritional educational recovery units of the "Strengthening Project intensive nutritional educational recovery units". The sampling is exhaustive, all children, aged 6 to 59 months, admitted to phase 2 of nutritional recovery between April 1, 2014 and July 15, 2017. The data collected includes socio-demographic, medical, psychomotor and anthropometric characteristics and physiotherapy sessions. Child development was measured using a child development assessment grid. An age-specific child development score was calculated. A bivariate analysis and a logistic regression were performed. The analysis covered 126 subjects in the group with kinesitherapy and 131 subjects in the group without Kinesitherapy. The psychomotor development score, weight/height ratio and developmental delay of the children after treatment were significantly improved in the group with stimulation Kinesitherapy compared to the group without stimulation Kinesitherapy (p<0.001). The children in the group without stimulation Kinesitherapy had 20.59 times more risk (OR=20.59 CI 6.05; 70.09) of having a developmental delay on Day 35 compared to the group with stimulation Kinesitherapy, after adjusting for age, developmental delay on Day 1, and the number of psychosocial stimulation sessions. Children with developmental delay on Day 1 were 4.16 times more likely (OR=4.16 CI 1.34; 12.90) to have a developmental delay on Day 35 compared to children without developmental delay on Day 1, after adjusting for age, physical stimulation therapy, and the number of psychosocial stimulation sessions. The anthropometric and psychomotor characteristics of the children after treatment were better in the Stimulation Kinesitherapy group, hence the need to reinforce stimulation and stimulation activities in the management of malnutrition in children aged 6-59 months.
