Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose This study aimed to examine the effect of exercise on static and dynamic balance in children with cerebral palsy
(CP) using a Swiss ball.
Methods: The subjects(n=7) underwent the Independent Standing Time and Modified Timed Up and Go tests before and after one treatment session with a Swiss ball. We compared these data to specifically determine the effect of the intervention without it being influenced by other variables.
Results: We found a significant increase (p<0.05) in the Independent Standing Time with eyes opened and closed after the intervention. We also found a significant difference between the Modified Timed Up and Go test before and after intervention.
Conclusion: Thus, exercise with a Swiss ball can improve static and dynamic balance in subjects with CP diplegia.
