Scooter Board Activities Versus Core Stability Exercises
Sponsor: Badr University
Summary
Children with diplegic cerebral palsy (CP) often experience impaired trunk control and balance, which limits functional mobility. Core stability exercises are commonly used in pediatric physical therapy to improve trunk control. Scooter board activities, which challenge trunk stability through dynamic movement, may offer an engaging alternative. This study aims to compare the effects of these two interventions.

Place knees on floor and hands holding the edge of the front scooter board. Push board out a few inches then pull back, the further you roll, the harder it gets. 8- Kneeling, Push self forward and backward with the use of a therapy ball (lots of Motor Planning). Supine flexion on scooter board, Clip clothespins to a rope hanging above.
