Abstract

Summary :

The research aims to identify the effect of a rehabilitation program to improve muscle strength for patients with cerebral palsy through applying the proposed rehabilitation program to improve muscle strength. Walking for children with cerebral palsy. The researcher used the experimental method using pre- and post-measurement method for one group due to its suitability to the nature of the research. The research community represents children with motor disabilities who suffer from cerebral palsy, At Al-Demerdash Hospital, their number is (20) children. The research sample was chosen intentionally from children and those with weak leg muscles from the research community, and their number is (8) children from the age of 6 to 8 years from the research communitym It has been confirmed that the values follow a normal distribution with the basic variables (age, height, weight) in addition to some physical variables and other measurements. A 12-week rehabilitation program was implemented with 3 rehabilitation units per week, with a total of (36) rehabilitation units throughout the program, The most important results of the proposed rehabilitation program were that rehabilitation exercises improved the degree of muscular strength of children with cerebral palsy, and improved the child’s performance in daily life skills. The proposed program had a positive impact on the child with cerebral palsy, The researcher recommends the need to pay attention to studying the strength of people with cerebral palsy in more depth and from different aspects,
