TheraSuit®
Method
TheraSuit®
Method
is applied and manipulated only by the certified therapists.
With TheraSuit®
and Universal
Exercise Unit (UEU), this method combines an individualized
intensive strengthening program for children with Cerebral
Palsy and neuro-motor or neuro-musculoskeletal disorders.
The main purpose of this method is to maximize the effect
of intensive stimulation of all body systems. To induce those
changes (increase muscle strength and muscle endurance, improve
transition and functional skills, etc.), there has to be applied
a certain level of stimulation ( call intensity). The level
of stimulation has to be above threshold level. It means that
the intensity of performed exercises has to be high enough
to induce a physiological response from our body. If the intensity
of the exercise session is too low, there will be no adaptive
changes and no progress.
* MAIN
GOALS:
- Normalize
the child's muscle tone.
- Increase
active range of motion.
- Increase
strength and endurance.
- Control
over newly strengthened muscle groups allowing children
to improve their functional skills working toward independence.
