COGNITIVE STIMULATION BY MICROMOVEMENTS IN DYNAMIC MUSCLE REPROGRAMMING DURING POSTURE: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Abstract

Objective: To analyze whether Dynamic Muscle Reprogramming stimulates cognition through micro movements. Materials and Methods: This is a systematic review in which searches were carried out in the PubMed Central (PMC), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Virtual Health Library (VHL), and Cochrane Library, Pedro, Medline, considering a randomized clinical trial related to cognition, physical therapy rehabilitation and the method of dynamic muscle reprogramming, in adult men and women from 18 years of age,  with neurological disorders and guidelines published during 2016-2021, and risk of bias was rated using PEDro. Results: A total of 6,246 articles were found in the different databases, filtered by articles on cognition, physiotherapy and the RDM method, with neurological deficits, reaching 20 articles potentially eligible for abstract and complete review. 3 articles were excluded because they addressed healthy individuals and 3 because they did not have access, resulting in 14 articles selected with a randomized clinical trial, being found in the Pubmed (13 articles) and VHL (1 article) databases, which were about aerobic exercise, dual task, virtual reality, tai chi and early mobilization. Conclusion: The RDM method improves the reacquisition of sensorimotor perceptions, followed by all information from the body and the environment, followed by the attention domains, promoting the control of movement by the intensity of the micro movements that are performed during the posture, stimulating the cognitive function through the reprogramming of the executive function, arising from the focus of attention,  concentration and body perception, improving memory, decision-making and improving activities of daily living.
