Proposed Training Program Based On Sports Activities For Developing Sensory-Motor Integration In Children With Motor Cerebral Palsy (IMC)

Abstract

This research aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed training program based on sports activities for the development of sensory-motor integration in children with motor cerebral palsy. For this purpose, the study was conducted on a purposive sample of 8 children (both genders) with motor cerebral palsy, aged between 5 and 8 years. Data collection tools included interviews, observations, the Human Figure Drawing Test, sensory checklist, and the proposed training program. A quasi-experimental method was employed for data analysis, and the results of pre-test and post-test measurements were analyzed using the paired samples t-test. The findings indicate that the proposed training program based on sports activities is effective in developing sensory-motor integration in children with motor cerebral palsy.
