Rehabilitation Dyskinetic CP - Case Study

• Cheerful and enthusiastic child
• Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy - GMFCS III
• Outpatient rehabilitation
• Uses Kaye Walker
• Responds well to NDT (Bobath)

Tonia currently moves around with a K-Walker. The main goal during her therapy is to practise and stimulate targeted movements for both the upper and lower limbs. Throughout her therapy Tonia seems to respond well to Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) and the accompanying facilitations. However, she quickly loses focus throughout the therapy and quickly becomes frustrated. By digitising Tonia`s conventional therapy, the exercises can be offered in a more interactive way. Recent research has already shown that exergames can have a positive effect on goal-oriented movement in children with CP [1]. Moreover, by using a playful environment, Tonia remains motivated, which only stimulates therapy compliance and motor learning.
