The effect of suggested rehabilitation exercises on improving balance for infection with spastic cerebral palsy aged (6-8) years

Abstract

Difficulty in movement affects children’s ability to maintain their balance, and since balance plays a major role in improving daily life abilities and developing children’s kinetic skills, the importance of using rehabilitative exercises that help them balance and overcome their difficulty in movement has become clear. There is increased interest in this special category of children with simple spastic cerebral palsy (ages 6-8) because these exercises are beneficial to them, as these exercises develop the child’s kinetic skills, maintain his balance, and achieve significant development in his kinetic abilities. The problem of the research highlights that the importance of rehabilitation after the injury is the return of the injured person to the normal state before the injury. The two researchers looked at the issue of people with simple spastic cerebral palsy for ages (6-8) years for children and identified the children’s difficulties in maintaining balance and the impact of this on their daily lives. Therefore, the two researchers decided Using prepared and useful rehabilitation exercises to improve balance skills effectively. The research aimed to prepare balance exercises to rehabilitate people with simple spastic cerebral palsy for ages (6-8 years). The sample number was (5) males with disabilities present at the Al-Saada Institute for Physical Disabilities. The two researchers concluded the positive effect of the prepared exercises in improving balance for the research sample. The researchers concluded that applying exercises according to the principle of gradation from easy to difficult and increasing repetitions had an effective impact in improving balance among the research sample. The researchers recommend the need to pay attention to the segment of children with mild spastic cerebral palsy by using rehabilitative exercises to improve their kinetic abilities.
