Essay about The Adaption Center for Patients with Cerebral Palsy

Manufacturing defects, In the moment of manufacturing it was bad assembled or the material used to build or make the ball had any defect or was broken. Only a few out of many products of the same type are flawed in this case.

Due to the training phase consisting of different coloured balls being thrown at the catcher, the participant had to critically focus on what colour was being directed towards them. This caused the participant to block out background noise and direct their focus on the ball. The participant also had to direct their focus strictly on the thrower as they had to wait for the cue to turn around and catch the ball. From the training phase, the participant was able to improve regarding relevant cue detection, which increased the percentage of successful catches in the

Also making sure you have a good grip on the baseball and placing your fingers on the “horseshoe” with both index fingers being perpendicular to one another

Cerebral palsy refers to a group of chronic disorders that involve degrees of brain damage that affect body control and movement. The term cerebral refers to the brain, while palsy describes a disorder that impairs the control of body movement. These disorders are not the result of muscles or nerves problems. Instead, they are due to impaired motor areas in the brain that disrupt its ability to control movement and posture. The condition typically appears within the first few years of life and it is not marked by regression. (Mecham, 1986)

2. A bowling ball should also be selected that is easy for the bowler to hang on to and release when bowling.

Cerebral palsy is a condition which has more than one disorder which can affect movement, posture and coordination. This condition can be recognized when the child is born, but also can be detected when the child reaches particular motor development

I learned that swimming is both good for the body and the mind. Water is 600 to 700 times denser than air so it improves muscular strength. Adapted aquatics can also improve flexibility because the reduction in gravity allows a greater range of motion and the uniform pressure gives the body greater support. Adapted aquatics is also good for mental and emotional health of those with special needs. While swimming the volunteers give praise and strike up friendly conversation that give opportunity for success. I also learned that adapted aquatics activities should be changed to fit the individual's needs and

Balls back then were not like the tennis balls we know today. The balls were made of wood and the players would hit the ball into the wall with their bare hands until eventually it got so painful that they eventually incorporated leather gloves to take some of the pain away.

The size of the ball, the speed of the pitch, and the distance from the mound to the plate all are variables of deciding which one is harder, softball or baseball? Debates break out all over the world with people fighting why softball is a sport made for girls. There is no real reason why the inventor of softball made it a bigger ball just for girls, but the difference is clearly noticeable. Studies show that most professional baseball players have a difficulty hitting from a softball pitcher. In order to prove this study, there must be drawbacks that make these softball players able to blow by a fastball by some of the greatest hitters.

Children born today have a fifty-fifty chance to live to be one hundred years old or more, and the quality of their lives will be affected by the research and empirical data that is being generated by organizations dedicated to helping developmentally disabled adults live more meaningful lives. These programs also serve as a benchmark in the battle against cerebral palsy in general and provide valuable best practice examples, thereby influencing the American health care system as a whole. While the search for a cure continues, cerebral palsy represents a debilitating disease that can adversely affect the ability of sufferers to provide for the basic needs of living, but with appropriate treatment and care, many are able to accomplish far more than most observers might believe in terms of their independence, productivity and integration with larger American society, goals that are also legally mandated. To determine how these positive clinical outcomes are possible, this paper provides a review of the relevant peer-reviewed and scholarly literature concerning the role of United Cerebral Palsy in delivering high quality care pursuant to the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 as overseen by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to determine the effect of this oversight on a representative

Bethany’s Equine and Aquatic Therapy Services, Incorporated, more widely-known as BEATS, Inc., is a treatment facility that utilizes both hippotherapy and aquatic therapy for children with a variety of disabilities (BEATS, n.d.). Aquatic therapy employs the use of water as a means to treat various conditions by aiding in reducing chronic pain and enabling a wider range of motion (Oeverman, n.d.). Hippotherapy is a lesser known method of treating mental, physical, and sensory disabilities by using horses. When ridden, the movements of the horses’ spine and hips mimic the movements of walking or running for those who cannot. Even when stationary, the horses’ consistent breathing stimulates the muscles of the individual riding that cannot be as readily stimulated with the use of any other mechanism (B. Nugent, personal communication, February 25, 2016). This unique form of therapy enables individuals to work on balance and strength. Above all, hippotherapy is incredibly beneficial in enhancing the motivation of disabled clients. Because the children are used to clinical settings, they do not realize that the session is a part of their treatment; instead, they are simply having fun. As the occupational therapist walks close by, often times engaging the child with the use of props, photographs, or games, they are still able to work with the child in the areas of need (Applegate, 2011). BEATS incorporates these two methods as a way of engaging disabled children and efficiently

Today there are many severe disability’s that effect individuals on a daily basis. Cerebral Palsy is a condition eliminates control over a person’s movements and the way the body works. The movement disorder is non curable but can be helped with appropriate assistive technology. In this paper you will learn more about Cerebral Palsy, broadening your knowledge on the disease and giving you a better understanding in your respected field of the rehabilitation.

We decided to research suit therapy in the context of cerebral palsy. Suit therapy is a system of rubber bands, hooks, and rings that connect a vest, shorts, kneepads, and specially connected shoes (McMahon, Pruitt & Vargus-Adams, 2009). There is bungee like cords that continue to tighten and adjust in order to “mimic normal flexor and extensor patterns of major muscle groups in an attempt to correct abnormal alignment” (McMahon, Pruitt & Vargus-Adams, 2009). Wearing the suit along with intensive physical therapy, and active motor participation by the patient for a certain amount of time and frequency is meant to retrain normal muscle movement and improve sensory and proprioceptive information in the brain (McMahon, Pruitt & Vargus-Adams, 2009). Suit therapy has been emerging as an alternative therapy for cerebral palsy. We are researching whether or not suit therapy treats both implications cerebral palsy has on the body, the brain and muscles. While suit therapy seems like a great idea in theory, we are looking for proof that it has worked on patients that have gone through clinical trials or experiments with it and that it will be an accessible therapy able to reach the population. There are many studies done where subjects have received suit therapy either by itself, with other intensive physical therapy, and comparing results of suit therapy to results of other types of therapy that are established as being used for cerebral palsy. There are many articles about cerebral
