Brief Summary
Several studies have highlighted the significant impact of cerebral palsy, a prevailing neurological and musculoskeletal developmental disorder among childhood disabilities worldwide. Within the spectrum of cerebral palsy, ataxic CP stands as the least prevalent type, accounting for 5 to 10% of all cases. Individuals diagnosed with ataxic CP encounter difficulties in fine motor skills, precision, and coordination, and exhibit an unsteady gait, some of which are linked to compromised postural control and inadequate core stability. These issues culminate in functional limitations, heightening the risk of falls, and further contributing to the overall disability experienced by the patients. Consequently, there exists a need to prioritize research and develop targeted treatment protocols specifically for ataxic CP. It is crucial to emphasize the enhancement of postural control and coordination, with particular emphasis on improving static and dynamic balance during rehabilitation. Implementing Swiss ball exercises and Frenkel exercises in the rehabilitation protocol for children with ataxic cerebral palsy can significantly diversify treatment strategies. These exercises play a pivotal role in supporting these children to either sustain or regain their ability to function independently, reduce the risk of falls, and notably improve their overall well-being.
