Abstract

[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 exe...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
