The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of an aquatic aerobic exercise program for a child with cerebral palsy.
A 5-year-old girl with spastic diplegia classified at level III on the Gross Motor Function Classification System participated in this single-subject A-B-A design study. The aquatic aerobic exercise intervention was carried out 3 times per week for 12 weeks at an intensity of 50% to 80% of heart rate reserve. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, Gross Motor Function Measure, and 6-minute walk test were used as outcomes.
Statistically significant improvements were found in the participation, activity, and body function components of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health model. Improvements in functional abilities and walking endurance and speed were recorded.
These findings suggest that an aquatic aerobic exercise program was effective for this child with cerebral palsy and support the need for additional research in this area.
本研究旨在评估一项水上有氧运动计划对一名脑瘫儿童的效果。
一名5岁痉挛型双瘫女孩，其粗大运动功能分类系统分级为三级，参与了这项单受试者A - B - A设计研究。水上有氧运动干预每周进行3次，共12周，强度为心率储备的50%至80%。使用加拿大职业表现测量、粗大运动功能测量和6分钟步行测试作为结果指标。
在《国际功能、残疾和健康分类》模型的参与、活动和身体功能组成部分中发现了具有统计学意义的改善。记录到功能能力、步行耐力和速度的提高。
这些发现表明，水上有氧运动计划对这名脑瘫儿童有效，并支持在该领域进行更多研究的必要性。
