La psychomotricité en unité de soins palliatifs : au sujet d'une personne atteinte de sclérose latérale amyotrophique (SLA)

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis causes progressive loss of motor capacities without affecting the sensorial functions. This syndrome causes extreme psychological stress for the person affected and for the entourage. This specific work is illustrated by a clinical example. During stays in palliative care units, the patient is treated through a psychomotoricity angle. If the disease attacks the body and shakes the entire foundation of the human being, the care administered to the body, in an interdisciplinary approach (relaxation and balneotherapy), can help to sooth the patient. The foundations of this work in psychomotoricity highlights the support of the psyche based on sensorial and motoricity experiments.
