Abstract

|
|
Purpose : This study examined the influence of elastic band on foot pressure, balance and gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy.
Methods : This study participate 5 subjects were diagnosed children with spastic cerebral palsy. Baseline and pre-test period were not exercise, during intervention period performed for 30 minute, 2 times a week, for 3 months. All subjects were measured with the foot pressure, Gross Motor Function Measure(GMFM) and Pediatric Balance Scale(PBS).
Results : After intervention, the significant changes were seen in foot pressure(p<.05), there were no
significant difference change in the result of PBS and GMFM according to the period. Nevertheless, PBS score increased
after intervention and decreased slightly in follow-up. Likewise, in GMFM, the score increased after the intervention, and
it was higher than before the pre-test.
Conclusion : Elastic band exercise was effective in improving foot pressure, balance and gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy.
