“…The current study showed techniques involving active participation of the patient, and neurodevelopmental approaches were more effective compared to massage. Similar results were reported earlier (19). Physiotherapists in the current study also described sustained stretching with active involvement was useful in overcoming the hypertonic weakness of the muscles.…”

Objective: To explore the perceptions about traditional massage and its modified techniques among clinicians and families of the patients with spastic cerebral palsy. Method: The qualitative, cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2019 to August 2020 in Sialkot, Pakistan, after approval from the ethics review committee of Riphah College of Rehabilitation Sciences, Islamabad, and comprised neuro paediatricians and paediatricians in Group A, parents of children with spastic cerebral palsy aged 8-15 years in Group B, and musculoskeletal physiotherapists and orthopaedic manual physical therapists in Group C. The professionals in groups A and C had a minimum of 5-year paediatric experience in government and teaching hospitals. Data was collected using a semi-structured pilot-tested questionnaire. Qualitative approach and thematic code analysis was used to analyse the collected data. Results: Of the 26 subjects, 10(38.5%) were in Group A, 8(30.7%) in Group B and 8(30.7%) in Group C. Overall, there were 16(61.4%) males and 10(38.5%) females. Among the professionals, experience ranged 5-38 years in Group A, and 5-9 years in Group C. The identified themes were reforms in recommendations, and application of massage techniques, with the participants overwhelmingly favouring termination markers to prevent increase in hypertonicity in spastic cerebral palsy. Conclusion: Termination markers of massage should be considered in interventions to improve outcomes in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Key Words: Cerebral palsy, Massage therapy, Perception, Swiss massage, Spasticity.

“…Perhaps most relevant for clinicians is the description of the natural ‘training regimen’ experienced by children with typical development – immense amounts of highly variable practice moving through complex, real-world environments, with frequent opportunities to experience the results of errors via falls and near falls. Although new interventions seek to replicate such complex and varied experience [113,114], the most prevalent interventions (e.g., neurodevelopmental treatment) focus on repetition of isolated, simplified movements (such as stepping on a treadmill) as a foundation for complex, goal-directed actions [115]. But typically developing children do not master simplified, isolated movements before advancing to more complex ones; they practice it all simultaneously.…”

Although a fundamental goal of developmental science is to identify general processes of change, developmental scientists rarely generalize beyond their specific content domains. As a first step toward a more unified approach to development, we offer 15 suggestions gleaned from a century of research on infant walking. These suggestions collectively address the multi-leveled nature of change processes, cascades of real-time and developmental events, the diversity of developmental trajectories, inter- and intraindividual variability, starting and ending points of development, the natural input for learning, and the roles of body, environment, and sociocultural context. We argue that these 15 suggestions are not limited to motor development, and we encourage researchers to consider them within their own areas of research.

“…Inhibition is an attempt to inhibit and reduce muscle tone with the Inhibitory Pattern Reflex technique. Changes in postural and patterned tone lead to more normal movement by inhibiting abnormal movement patterns into normal postures (Zanon et al, 2017).…”

ABSTRACT The overall birth prevalence of cerebral palsy is about 2 per 1000 live births. Weakness in balance control is one of the most common problems encountered in children with CP. One of the most widely used physiotherapy approaches for children with CP is Bobath therapy. Exercise with the Bobath method can improve postural control and balance in children with CP. This study aims is to determine the effect of exercise therapy with the Bobath method for balance in a child with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. This study using a single-subject research conducted on a child with a diagnosis of spastic diplegic cerebral palsy who was given exercise therapy using the Bobath method 4 times a week for 4 weeks. Measurement of balance using the Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) which was carried out before exercise therapy was given (A1), follow-up (A2), and evaluation of the final outcome (A3). The results showed that the patient had an increase in the PBS score, which means that there was an increase in functional balance. The conclusion of this study is that exercise therapy with the Bobath method which has been carried out 4 times a week for 4 weeks improves functional balance in a child with a diagnosis of spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.
