Abstract

According to the results of modern scientific studies, the use of therapeutic gymnastics with the use of Bobat therapy in the physical rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy promotes the formation of motor skills and vertical movement in space.
The purpose of the study is to substantiate current trends in physical rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy.
Materials and methods of research. Analysis of scientific and methodological literature; pedagogical: observation, interrogation, experiment (ascertaining and forming), testing (“Map-test of assessment of children’s motor abilities” by K. and B. Bobat); clinical (neurological examination to determine the levels of motor disorders according to the GMFCS classification) mathematical data processing.
The developed programs of physical rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy in the conditions of a specialized rehabilitation center, based on the use of Bobat therapy in the procedure of therapeutic gymnastics successfully tested during the formative experiment: its effectiveness is proved by quantitative changes (at the level of p<0.05) of the studied indicators.
Conclusions. On the basis of generalization of the received data the efficiency of realization and rational orientation of the implemented program are proved, certifying the positive changes of motor function and correction of manifestations of motor disorders of children of patients with cerebral palsy.
