Living with Cerebral Palsy: Exploring the benefits of an Intensive Exercise Program and the TheraSuit method.
this is the abstract
Cerebral Palsy (CP), an umbrella term used to define a group of non-progressive disorders of movement and posture, is the most common cause of severe neuro-disability in children. There have been various interventions used on children with CP to improve posture, gross motor control and balance, with one of them being an intensive exercise program and the use of therasuit. This is a diverse method used by many patients, of any ages, bringing numerous advantageous outcomes. TheraSuit and the use of the Universal Exercise Unit (UEU) can be complex to understand and thus the information provided about these methods need to be dissected to be better understood by everyone. The purpose of this project was to investigate the various benefits of an intensive exercise program, using TheraSuit on children living with CP. Research methods included extensive literature review exploring cerebral palsy, the impact of cerebral palsy on vestibular movement and proprioception and muscle strengthening and reconditioning. An observation of a therapy session using the UEU and TheraSuit method took place to gain primary information from live experiences. Information was also gathered and reviewed from databases (CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane, PubMed, OTseeker), reputable websites, textbooks and scholarly literature. The results indicated that TheraSuit has high levels of effectiveness regarding functional progression as well as occupations that were learned or improved. The studies also showed that using the TheraSuit during an intensive exercise program had great improvements in vestibular function. It is recommended that further research around the UEU and TheraSuit method is conducted to promote this intervention and educate practitioners of the various benefits it brings to children living with CP.
