One must work following the sequence of development: track, position.

to rise and walk.
Normal motor patterns are learned through sensory experience.
which provide normal movements.
Postural control and stability are essential for movement.
The correct movement should be facilitated through positioning, the use of
key control points in the position, the correct contact with the patient and the use
from sensory stimulation.
The central motor schema of the brain can be modified through the
experimentation of normal movement patterns.
It is essential that both sides of the body participate.
Flexor movement patterns in the upper limb and should be avoided
extensors in the lower limb, as well as the stimulation of reactions
associated that are pathological.
