|
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of trunk muscle training by ball exercise program respiration in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Four children(3 females, 1 male with a mean age of 8.5) practiced trunk muscle strength program 3 times a week for 8 weeks. The results were as follows; Firstly, the trunk muscle strength program by ball exercise program was effective in developing maximum phonation time of vowel "a" for the children with cerebral palsy. Secondly, the trunk muscle strength program by ball exercise program was effective in the vital capacity for the children with cerebral palsy. Thirdly, the trunk muscle strength program by ball exercise program did not show discernable improvement in the trunk ability for the children with cerebral palsy.
