The effect of swimming on the correction of motor disorders in primary school children with cerebral palsy

Abstract

Relevance. At the beginning of the pedagogical experiment, it was revealed that the goniometric indicators of the mobility of the joints of the upper and lower extremities of children of primary school age with cerebral palsy differ slightly from the normative values, except for the indicator of dorsal flexion of the foot. As a result of the application of the technique developed by us for the correction of motor disorders by means of swimming, an increase in the indices of mobility of the joints of the upper and lower extremities of children of primary school age with cerebral palsy is observed, while the increase in the indices of movements of the joints of the lower extremities is more pronounced than the increase in the indices of the upper extremities.The purpose of the study: Theoretically and experimentally to substantiate the effectiveness of the technique with the means of swimming for the correction of motor disorders in children with cerebral palsy.
