INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF 8-WEEK PILATES AND STRETCHING EXERCISES ON SPINAL CORD DEFORMATION IN CERABREL PALCY PATIENTS (CASE STUDY)

Abstract

The purpose of this study is; The effect of pilates and stretching exercises on cerebral palsy, Static Encephalopathy, Non Progressive, Neuromusculer Encephalopathy, Brain Felci patients on Cobb bevel in Scoliosis, Lordosis, and kyphosis posture disorders. As a result of this purpose, 7-year-old autistic child who had shortening of the right leg muscle and spinal deformity due to Brain Felcine resulted in a total of 32 hours of pilates and stretching exercises with a condition of 4 days a week for 8 weeks. Single subject research method was used in the study and comparison of cobb bevel level before exercise and cobb angle level after exercise were compared. In the results obtained from the study, the cobb bevel level of the individual in the pre-test was Scoliosis; 13 degrees, Lordosis; 12 degrees, Kyphosis; 6 degrees. Cobb bevel in the measurement results obtained after the exercises applied Scoliosis; 8 degrees, Lordosis; 6 degrees Kyphosis; 6 degrees. As a result, it was found that there was no change in the kyphosis Cobb bevel when the applied pilates and stretching exercises had a positive effect on the rate of scoliosis which was found to have the most positive effect on Lordosis level in living spinal cord deformation due to SP. Conclusion:These results indicate that pilates and stretcing exercises have not improved especially in adolescence and thus have not improved in angle of view.
