Cerebral palsy is a problem that affects the development and motor skills caused by early non-progressive central nervous system damage. Muscle rigidity, spasticity, fragility, uncontrolled movement, or a combination of these abnormalities characterized it. Therapeutic usage of the universal exercise unit is common. Also called a spider cage or monkey cage. This device helps people with motor problems, especially cerebral palsy. This metal 3-dimensional contraption uses wires, rubber bands, pulleys, weights, and belts. The goal is to engage the vestibular and proprioceptive systems, which are necessary for balance, coordination, and awareness.
Children who were spastic and able to understand and follow commands. Children aged 5-15 years old. Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level I-III. Youngsters are capable of walking and standing on their own.
Children with severe physical limitations and disabilities. Children with planned surgeries in the next 6 months. Any musculoskeletal or orthopedic conditions limiting participation in exercise programs.
