reciprocal electrical stimulation
Mode (A) is selected to apply reciprocal neuromuscular electrical stimulation
physical therapy program
* neurodevelopmental approach directed toward inhibiting abnormal muscle tone and abnormal reflexes and facilitation of postural control through reflex inhibiting positions using proximal and distal key points of control. * training for active trunk extension to improve posture control and balance . * Balance training from different positions ,from the quadruped position, kneeling ,half kneeling and standing position on mat and tilting board. * facilitation of protective reactions by applying a fast and large amplitude of stimulus to train saving reactions from sitting on roll and also from standing position by pushing the child to encourage the child to take protective steps either forward , backward .or sideways to regain balance. * approximation as a proprioceptive training applied in a slow and rhythmic manner for the upper limbs ,lower limbs , and trunk to control spasticity and stimulate the joint mechanoreceptors from semi reclined and quadruped positions.
