Application of promising means of adaptive physical education among children with cerebral palsy in the process of corrective education
Abstract. For the first time, we ranked effective means of adaptive physical education used in corrective education of children of primary school age with cerebral palsy using indicators of total motor density and fine motor coordination. The purpose of the work is to study the influence of hippotherapy, swimming, fixation massage with ontogenetic gymnastics on the motor activity of children with cerebral palsy 8–10 years old in the process of adaptive physical education. To achieve the goal, we determined parameters of total motor activity and fine motor coordination among children with cerebral palsy aged 8–10 years. We investigated the parameters studied using the Longitud computer program. We revealed that the most effective and promising means of adaptive physical education among children with cerebral palsy in the development of general motor activity and fine motor coordination is fixation massage with ontogenetic gymnastics. We noted that as a result of the use of fixation massage with ontogenetic gymnastics, children with cerebral palsy improved their overall motor development by an average of 22.5 %, and fine motor coordination by 25.6 %.
