Somatoneurological and psycho-pedagogical features of children with cerebral palsy in the context of their readiness for training in Paralympic sports

Introduction. Currently, Russia does not have a scientifically grounded medical and psychological support system for disabled children (DC), which allows involving them in classes in children and youth schools of adaptive physical education, preparing the country’s Paralympic DC reserve. Aim of the study. To develop and create a medical support system for the Paralympic DC reserve, capable of improving their quality of life and forming a medical and social lift. Materials and methods. Children aged from 1 year to 18 years had cerebral palsy (CP) with impaired motor functions of levels I and II according to the global motor function assessment system and the Manual Abilities Classification system and their families were monitored. A comprehensive assessment of the somatic, neurological, mental and nutritional status of CP children) was carried out, and a wide range of comorbid pathology was described. After the rehabilitation treatment with the use of complex personalized rehabilitation programs, dynamic monitoring of the condition of patients with cerebral palsy was carried out, followed by an assessment of the effectiveness of rehabilitation treatment and the impact on it the psychological readiness of patients, their parents to engage in Paralympic sports, as well as the socio-economic level of the family. The attitude of CP children and their parents to participate in the Paralympic movement was studied. All patients underwent a comprehensive study of somatic, neurological, orthopaedic, psychological and nutritional status. The socio-hygienic characteristics of families and the rehabilitation potential of DC and their families have been determined. Results. Children with cerebral palsy have a wide range of comorbid pathology, which requires the involvement of specialists of different profiles in the curation of patients. The use of complex personalized rehabilitation programs allows achieving positive dynamics after 14 days of rehabilitation treatment. Early introduction of botulinum therapy in the rehabilitation program of CP patients provides higher efficiency of rehabilitation treatment. Treatment of protein-energy deficiency in CP children should include correction of the diet using specialized products, metabolic therapy, enzyme and complex vitamin preparations. Differentiated medical, psychological and pedagogical counselling of parents of CP children will allow optimizing the solution of the state problem regarding the timely inclusion of persons with disabilities in adaptive physical education classes. Conclusion. The development and creation of a comprehensive medical and psychological support system solve an urgent medical and social problem, ensuring the integration of DC into society and improving the quality of life of both a sick child and his family members.

Social and psychological aspects of readiness of parents for the involvement of children with cerebral palsy in adaptive physical education classes

Introduction. Participation in the sports movement is an effective tool for the full-fledged socialization of people with disabilities. In this regard, one of the socially significant tasks of the state is to ensure the availability of conditions for practicing various sports and adaptive physical culture (APhC) for people with disabilities. Materials and methods. To study the socio-psychological readiness of the family to include a disabled child in APhC classes, a survey was conducted on 67 parents of children with cerebral palsy (CP). CP patients were observed at the National Medical Research Center of Children’s Health of the Ministry of Health of Russia in 2019-2020. The criteria for the inclusion of participants in the group of subjects were the informed consent of the parents, the presence of medical indications, and the absence of contraindications for the child to engage in APhC training. Results. There is presented objective data indicating a positive attitude of respondents to APhC as one of the most effective tools for the development of movements in children. The factors that determine the socio-psychological readiness of parents for this type of rehabilitation are awareness of the child’s health, emotional stability and focus on achieving positive results in the child’s socialization, sufficient adherence to treatment. Socio-psychological factors reducing the likelihood of including children in APhC classes include a pessimistic assessment of the child’s health and social prospects, insufficient awareness of the positive impact of APhC classes on the physical development of a CP child, an incomplete awareness of the institutions in which this type of assistance can be obtained, the place of residence, the low physical activity of parents. Conclusion. The study of the socio-psychological profiles of parents with different motivations for the participation of a CP child in APhC classes proves the need for a differentiated approach to the management of psychological and pedagogical work with parents.

The Implementation of Adaptive Physical Education Program for Blind Students at SMP Modern Islamic School Surakarta

In the era of the Covid-19 pandemic, the government implemented a distance learning system for students at all levels of education. This has an impact on various changes in learning methods, including for the subjects of Physical Education, Sports, and Health. The importance of learning sports during the pandemic is the right of every student, including students with special needs. In fact, children who need special services are often excluded from teaching and learning activities in physical education. So adaptive physical education is needed so that it can serve the learning needs of blind students and lead students to achieve excellent health. To overcome the persistence of the above problem, the authors implemented an adaptive physical education program aimed at blind students at Junior High School Modern Islamic School (SMP MIS) Surakarta. The main program is train students to do an adaptive rhythmic gymnastics. This program consisting of Ayo Pahami (Lets Understand), Ayo Praktikkan (Lets Practice), and Ayo Lanjutkan (Lets Continue) which are carried out online through the WhatsApp Group. In general, this program implementation activities can run well. This is evidenced by the results of written test and also performance test. Quantitatively, the average students score is 60 while the average teachers score is 84 for the written test, and the average students score for performance test is 71,2 which is considered as skilled. Qualitatively, all students understand and can memorize the whole movements of the rhythmic gymnastics. Habituation and parental/teacher guidance is needed to boost students’ ability in practicing the movements so that their motor skills can improve progressively. We also arrange ETAS organizational structure that aims to encourage students to continue their rhythmic gymnastics habits and is expected new extracurricular in the future.
