we use this force to:-
- relieve the body weight.
- resist motion.
- assist motion.
- support.
|
- as tactile stimulation through hydrostatic pressure.
- media of play, as play is the child job and the child prefers to
work in form of
play.
- safe media as the child doesn't afraid from falling that
result in good and big
performance.
- best media to teach the child the normal pattern of motion
with less body
weight, good tactile and proprioceptive
biofeed back and good support.
First we teach child how to deal with the water like how to breath, float
and use the forces in water then we start to teach him all
kind of motion like sitting, standing, walking......ect,
then using the above mentioned benefits of water.
the duration of the session is half an hour. the cerebral
palsy patient may needs more than one session according to
his case. |
