Multi
Gym
Unit
MGU
The MGU (ugul therapy) is used to teach the cerebral
palsy child the normal pattern of
movement and to strength muscles associated to the pattern.
By
induction of resistive force (weights) and avoiding
compensatory movements from ( weakened
or affected group of muscles), while gravitational force is
eliminated, the exercise can be focused on a particular proper
movement.
When you strength the muscle you need the following : -
1- active motion.
2- full rang on motion or maximum.
3- reach to the point of fatigue.
4- resistance should be above physiological limits and below
failure limits.
5- isolate the muscle action.
How we develop our MGU?
Our cerebral palsy child
has weakness and we need to strength his muscle and the
multi gym is the proper way, but normal multi gym can't be
used because multi gym needs stable person who can sit at
least and also need the one who can make isolated motion not
synergy. For this reason we develop the multi gym unit to
provide the child with the above abilities.
