Abstract

The purpose of the study was to identify effectiveness of a rehabilitation program to improve some biological variables associated with flat back for children with intellectual disability such as (anthropometry of the spine, electromyography of flat back, postural of flat back) for children with intellectual disability. The researcher used experimental method using the pre, inter and post measurement for one experimental group on a sample selected purposively, which consisted of (12) intellectually disabled with a percentage of 60% of the research community of (9) intellectually disabled who are the basic sample of the research and three intellectually disabled who are the members of the survey sample of the research from the same research community and outside the basic research sample.The research results have shown that the positive effect of the rehabilitation program has led to an improvement in the variables of (anthropometry of the spine, electromyography of flat back, postural of flat back) for children with intellectual disability. The researcher recommends the need to apply the rehabilitation program under consideration on the children with intellectual disability as well as a series of preventive measures to preserve the biological aspects related to the postural of the intellectually disabled.
