Objective: To report two cases of children rehabilitated with the Padovan® Method before the tendon stretching surgery. Case reports: Observational, descriptive, quantitative and retrospective study of two cases of children who had cerebral palsy, spasticity, shortening of the tendons and lack of gait, due to hypoxia in the neonatal period, seen in a private clinic by the Padovan® method of neurofunctional reorganization, through review of medical records. For motor evaluation, the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) was used. The reports were approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Patients received conventional motor physiotherapy from the first months of life to 7 years old (case 1) and 5 years old (case 2), when they started rehabilitation with the Padovan® Method, 3 times a week and, after improving their tone and muscle strength, patients were referred for orthopedic surgery and moved from level IV (mobility with limitations) to level II (walking with limitations) on the GMFCS scale. Final considerations: Even after the sequela installed, patients managed to acquire gait, contributing to the results of orthopedic surgery due to the reprogramming of movements proposed by the Padovan® Method, which can contribute to reducing failures in this type of surgery.
