PHYSICAL REHABILITATION OF CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY

The purpose of the research is to theoretically and experimentally substantiate the methods of physical rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy using the sensory-dynamic hall "House of the Owl", aimed at correcting their motor functions. Methods and organization of research. Analysis and synthesis of scientific and methodological literature, a method of control tests to assess motor abilities, a pedagogical experiment, and methods of mathematical statistics. Ten children diagnosed with cerebral palsy (aged 7-10 years) were examined. The analysis of functional mobility indicators in children diagnosed with paraparesis (weakness and partial paralysis of the lower limbs) was conducted using 5 control tests, and the dynamics of these indicators were tracked throughout the experimental period. Research results and their discussion. Considering the identified features, a physical rehabilitation methodology was developed to correct the motor skills of children with cerebral palsy using the sensory-dynamic hall "House of the Owl". The methodology consists of five interconnected blocks: Block 1: Activation and proprioceptive exercises with and without objects, aimed at preparing the sensorimotor system, activating the feet and torso, and deep stabilization. Block 2: Balance and stabilization exercises, aimed at developing static and reactive equilibrium and support reactions. Block 3: Coordination and play exercises, aimed at improving visual-motor coordination, movement accuracy, and planning through play tasks. Block 4: Strength and functional exercises, aimed at strengthening the hip/knee extensors and torso, developing transitional skills and endurance. Block 5: Exercises aimed at reducing spasticity, lengthening shortened muscles, recovery, and relaxation. The experimental methodology was tested over a period of 9 months. Conclusion. The implementation of the experimental methodology contributed to the correction of motor functions in children with cerebral palsy.
