Scooter Board Activities Versus Core Stability Exercises

Официальное название

Scooter Board Activities Versus Core Stability Exercises on Enhancing Trunk Postural Control and Balance in Children With Diplegic Cerebral Palsy: A Randomized Comparative Trial

Обзор

Children with diplegic cerebral palsy (CP) often experience impaired trunk control and balance, which limits functional mobility. Core stability exercises are commonly used in pediatric physical therapy to improve trunk control. Scooter board activities, which challenge trunk stability through dynamic movement, may offer an engaging alternative. This study aims to compare the effects of these two interventions.

Подробное описание

Children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (CP) often present with impaired trunk postural control and reduced balance stability, which negatively affect their functional independence, gait, and participation in daily activities.

Core stability training is widely recognized in pediatric rehabilitation as a method to enhance trunk strength and improve postural alignment.

Scooter board activities, however, add an element of dynamic movement, sensory stimulation, and task-oriented play, potentially offering greater engagement and functional carryover.

This study directly compares the two approaches in order to establish evidence-based guidance for clinical practice.
