Abstract

|
|
PURPOSE : This study aimed to investigate muscles activation relate to core stability during 5 therapeutic exercise in children with spastic diplegia.
METHODS : The subjects of this study were 8 children with typical development and 12 children with spastic diplegia who have been treated in Bobath children’s hospital, all of whom agreed to participate in the study. All subjects were measured to see their muscles activation of rectus abdominalis, external oblique abdominalis, elector spinae, gluteus maximus, rectus femoris, and semitendinosus with surface EMG.
RESULTS : The results of this study were as follows : 1) There were statistically significant difference in the root mean square(RMS) of all muscles according to 5 therapeutic exercise in children with spastic diplegia. 2) There were statistically significant difference in the RMS of all muscles according to 5 therapeutic exercise in children with typical development. 3) Significant differences of the RMS between diplegic children and normal children were found in elector spinae and rectus femoris only curl-up exercise.
CONCLUSION : As the above results, we suggest that 5 therapeutic exercises could be used for a core stability or core strengthening program. Depending on the individual needs of children with cerebral palsy, some of exercises may be ore
beneficial than others for achieving strength.
