Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Purpose of the study:
To investigate the effect of walking back exercises and rebound therapy on muscle strength, functionality, balance and aerobic capacity in children with CP Implication for rehabilitation:Determining the effects of rehabilitative interventions (back and forth walking exercises and rebound therapy) to be applied in children with CP with objective measurement methods (muscle US, tetrax balance system) and evaluating the effects of the results on functionality and respiratory parameters

Detailed Description
Inclusion Criteria:
Being diagnosed with SP To be in the age range of 6-15 years, where effective communication can be provided in evaluation and treatment processes and when walking begins to mature Having adequate communication skills Being on level I or level II according to GMFM No impairment in visual functions in terms of not affecting postural control responses, Children with family consent
Study design:
Application of the evaluation methods specified at the beginning of the study to all 30 patients with CP who were randomly divided into 2 groups.
Re-evaluations were planned 8 weeks after the first evaluation of all cases who were continuing with structured neurodevelopmental treatment programs. In addition to the ongoing structured neurodevelopmental treatment programs; Group 1: 12 weeks / 3 days 20 minutes walking back exercises on normal ground, Group 2: Rebound therapy exercises, which are arranged according to the functional levels of the cases, will be applied in 12 weeks / 3 days for 20 minutes.
