Application of Suspension Exercise Therapy in Rehabilitation Training of Children with Cerebral Palsy?

　　Applying suspension exercise therapy to rehabilitation training for children with cerebral palsy can fully stimulate their active participation, enhance their comprehensive coordination ability in deep body sensation, strengthen muscle strength, help them better complete sitting, four point, and standing positions, and improve their walking balance control ability.
Suspension technology not only has a very good rehabilitation effect on children with cerebral palsy, but also is effective in early intervention for children with sensory integration dysfunction and delayed motor development.

Suspension technique training method
The child is in a supine position, with arms placed on both sides of the body and suspenders placed below the knee joints. The child is instructed to extend the hips, knees, and lift the hips, back bend the ankle joint, and perform a series of slow and sustained movements that can effectively stimulate the deep stabilizing muscles of the lumbar spine.
The main feature of suspension training is to conduct core stability function training, and the main feature of suspension exercise is to conduct core stability function training to strengthen the exercise ability of "weak links".


Principles of using suspension technology
Any training should avoid causing severe pain and proceed gradually.

✦Mainly focused on closed chain movement
Closed chain exercise can activate and train stable muscles. During closed chain exercise, local stable muscles and overall motor muscles can move more harmoniously, while open chain exercise can provide single muscle training and activity of distal joints.

✦Training on an unstable plane
Seeking stability in instability and moving on unstable support surfaces can more effectively stimulate local stability and train balance responses.

✦Pay attention to comprehensive development during training
The human body is a whole, and is composed of various joints that form a power chain. The activities of each joint affect each other, so it is necessary to regularly check whether there are weak links in each part.
