“…These results are similar to those of a previous study in which neck flexion exercises and bridge exercises improved sitting position trunk control for children with cerebral palsy 15 ) . Trunk stabilization exercises are a basic component of the motility of the distal part of the body, including neck movements; several studies have shown the importance of trunk stabilization exercises for these movements 16 , 17 ) . Furthermore, children with spastic cerebral palsy are characterized by trunk muscle weakness, which has direct effects on the functional performance of activities of daily living, and insufficient static and dynamic balance abilities.…”

“…Several studies have addressed improving balance ability among children with cerebral palsy. Choi et al reported that trunk muscle strengthening exercises positively affected upper limb functions and balance ability among children with cerebral palsy 9 ) . Similarly, McBurney et al reported that when lower limb muscle strengthening exercises were applied to 11 spastic paraplegic children with cerebral palsy, lower limb muscle strength, flexibility, postures, and gait ability were improved; this study’s findings also emphasized the importance of strengthening exercises for improving trunk stability 10 ) .…”

[Purpose] The purpose of this case series was to examination the effects of trunk and neck stabilization exercise on the static, dynamic trunk balance abilities of children with cerebral palsy. [Subjects and Methods] The study included 11 school aged children diagnosed with paraplegia due to a premature birth. Each child engaged in exercise treatments twice per week for eight weeks; each treatment lasted for 45 minutes. After conducting a preliminary assessment, exercise treatments were designed based on each child’s level of functioning. Another assessment was conducted after the eight weeks of treatment. [Results] The Trunk Control Measurement Scale evaluation showed that the exercise treatments had a significant effect on static sitting balance, selective movement control, dynamic reaching, and total Trunk Control Measurement Scale scores. [Conclusion] The results indicate that neck and trunk stabilization exercises that require children’s active participation are helpful for improving static and dynamic balance ability among children diagnosed with cerebral palsy.

“…However, according to previous studies, children with CP have sensory processing issues as well as motor problems, which lead to severe developmental disability (Ahn et al, 2004;Choi et al, 2013). CP sufferers with sensory modulation problems, poor sensory registration and sensory discrimination deficits show delay issues regarding level of arousal, attention, motivation, behavioral organization, and action planning, which also affects motor functions (Ayres and Tickle, 1980;Beckung and Hagberg, 2002).…”

| Abstract |1 )PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference and relationship between sensory processing abilities, gross motor and fine motor capabilities in children with cerebral palsy. METHODS:104 children with cerebral palsy participated in the study. Sensory processing abilities of the subjects were measured by Short Sensory Profile (SSP). Gross and fine motor abilities were each measured using the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and Manual Ability Classification System (MACS), respectively. RESULTS:There were significant correlations between SSP level and GMFCS (R=.72, p<.00) or MACS (R=.77, p<.00) levels. Significant differences were showed each gross motor (p=.01) and fine motor level (p=.00) among sensory processing level of children. In addition, sub-items of sensory processing as Tactile sensitivity, Movement sensitivity, Auditory filtering and Low energy/Weak were significantly were showed significant correlations gross motor and fine motor level (p=.01). Also, multiple regression result was †Corresponding Author : parkmo@bu.ac.kr This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0) which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.showed that as MACS level and GMFCS level were higher, the SSP total score was higher all of participants (adjusted R 2 =.62). CONCLUSION: Sensory processing abilities of childrenwith cerebral palsy were related with gross motor and fine motor capabilities. Also gross motor and fine motor capabilities are as higher, the sensory processing skill was well of cerebral palsy.

“…This causes difficulties in the voluntary movements of all limbs and, in particular, weakening of the abdominal muscles induces not only functional difficulties in normal development but also problems in respiratory functions 38 ) . It is asserted that execution of trunk muscle strengthening exercise by children with cerebral palsy can help with the improvement of respiratory functions by not only improving the trunk stability, and functions and balancing ability of upper arms but also imparting influence on pulmonary functions 39 , 40 ) . In addition, Vera-Garcia et al 41 ) also reported that the level of activation of abdominal muscles including rectus abdominis and oblique muscles of abdomen, etc.…”

[Purpose] This study was conducted to examine the effects of task-specific movement patterns during resistance exercise program, which are applied to children with cerebral palsy, on respiratory functions and thickness of abdominal muscles. [Participants and Methods] This study was conducted with randomized double-blinded controlled research was pursued since it is a clinical trial with minors with disabilities as the participants. Seventeen children with cerebral palsy were randomly allocated to both experimental group and placebo group by means of simple randomized sampling. The experimental group wore weighted vest to which loaded-resistance was applied by means of sand bag while the placebo group wore weighted vest without loaded-resistance. Task-specific movement patterns during resistance exercise were performed for 40 minutes 2 times a week over a period of 12 weeks for the participants in both groups. Differences in respiratory functions and thickness of abdominal muscles measured prior to and after 12 weeks of the experiment were compared. [Results] All the measurement values for the respiratory functions and abdominal muscle thickness displayed statistically significant changes between those prior to and after the exercise in both of the experimental group and the placebo group. There were statistically significant differences in the changes prior to and following the exercise between the two groups. [Conclusion] Therefore, task-specific movement patterns in anatomical plane, diagonal patterns and combined forms during resistance exercise program on for children with cerebral palsy can be considered as an efficient intervention method in improving respiratory capacity.
