Conditions
Summary
Cerebral palsy is a problem that affects the development and motor skills caused by early non-progressive central nervous system damage. Muscle rigidity, spasticity, fragility, uncontrolled movement, or a combination of these abnormalities characterized it. Therapeutic usage of the universal exercise unit is common. Also called a spider cage or monkey cage. This device helps people with motor problems, especially cerebral palsy. This metal 3-dimensional contraption uses wires, rubber bands, pulleys, weights, and belts. The goal is to engage the vestibular and proprioceptive systems, which are necessary for balance, coordination, and awareness.
Eligibility
