Introduction:With the increased survival of immature newborns, the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia is increasing, as well as a significant increase in the number of children with delayed neuropsychomotor development. Objective: To report the experiences in a physical therapy intervention program based on the neuroevolutives high positions in the development of cervical control and trunk, in a higk-risk young child diagnosed with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Method: Case report of a female child, chronological age of six months, corrected age of two and a half months, extremely premature very low birth weight, which held 28 sessions of physiotherapy. Results: After treatment, there was an increase of active movement; in the prone position was reached full cervical extension; the roll from supine to prone; in the sitting position remained good postural control; she remained in a standing position with cervical support and trunk requiring support at lower distal members. Conclusion: The high positions allowed greater interaction between child and the environment around herself, thus enabling a breakthrough in motor development for the acquisition of control cervical and trunk.

Introduction: falls are common in elderly and can cause fractures, with a consequent decrease in functional capacity and quality of life of these individuals. Physical therapy has fundamental role in early return of patients to their activities of daily living. Objective: evaluate the effectiveness of physical therapy on pain and functionality in elderly patients with fractures in the spine. Method: subject to 65 years of age, female, fracture history in the first lumbar vertebra. The participant was evaluated through a Physical Therapy Evaluation form, Visual Analogue Scale, Roland Morris disability questionnaire and the lumbar disability index of OSWESTRY. A treatment protocol was applied for ten sessions. Results: the results showed decreased pain and increased functionality after 10 training sessions. Conclusion: the proposal of physical therapy proved effective in gaining functionality and reducing pain.

Introdução: as quedas são comuns em idosos e podem causar fraturas, com consequente diminuição da capacidade funcional e qualidade de vida desses indivíduos. A fisioterapia tem papel fundamental no retorno precoce dos pacientes às suas atividades da vida diária. Objetivo: avaliar a efetividade da fisioterapia na dor e na funcionalidade em pacientes idosos com fraturas na coluna vertebral. Método: sujeito a 65 anos, sexo feminino, história de fratura na primeira vértebra lombar. A participante foi avaliada através de um formulário de Avaliação da Fisioterapia, Escala Visual Analógica, questionário de incapacidade Roland Morris e índice de incapacidade lombar da OSWESTRY. Um protocolo de tratamento foi aplicado por dez sessões. Resultados: os resultados mostraram diminuição da dor e aumento da funcionalidade após 10 sessões de treinamento. Conclusão:
