Summary

The study was conducted to assess the influence of aerobic exercise on inhibitory control of executive functions in spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy.

Detailed description

Inhibitory control of executive functions (EF) is one of the main specific cognitive impairments that affect children with cerebral palsy, cognitive skills begin to develop in infancy and continuing through the pre-school years, childhood and into adolescence it changes across the lifespan of an individual and has great effect on their participation and quality of life. The aim of study was to assess the influence of aerobic exercise on inhibitory control of executive functions in spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Sixty children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy were enrolled in this study and were assessed for eligibility. Their aged ranged from seven and eleven years. They were assigned randomly into two equal groups. Group (A) the study group received aerobic exercise in addition to selected physical therapy program. And group (B) the control group received the same selected physical therapy program only. The treatment was conducted for one hour, three times / weak for three successful months. Eriksen flanker test and Stroop Color-Word test were used to assess inhibitory control of EF pre and post treatment.
