Children With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy: A Need for Recommending Advanced Interventions in Daily Activities
Authors
Abstract:
Rehabilitation of children with unilateral cerebral palsy has been progressed and improved their body function and structure, activities and participation of these children dramatically and increased their quality of life. Despite this progress, we still need improvement of intervention that address and focus on whole body movement and function during daily activities to change the habitual and abnormal movement and pattern. In other words, the future trend of rehabilitation of children with unilateral cerebral palsy requires to focus on intervention that affect whole body at the same time, not the gate and upper limb function separately. Furthermore, the intervention protocol should target abnormal movement during daily activities to generalize the learned movement and function into their daily activities.
