Effectiveness of MAT Exercises And Swiss Ball Training On Trunk Control In Spastic Diplegia : A Case Study

Abstract Background
Children with Cerebral Palsy frequently show impaired trunk control, which can affect the performances of activities of daily life such as sitting, reaching and walking.Muscle Activation Technique (MAT) exercises and Swiss ball training address the need to improve functional abilities and quality of life. Studying their impact involves assessing how these exercises enhance trunk control through muscle strengthening and improved stability, potentially improving daily activities and quality of life for paediatric patients with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.

Objective
This case study aimed to analyse the impact of Muscle Activation Technique (MAT) exercises and Swiss ball training on trunk control in spastic diplegic patient.

Methodology
A case study of a six-year-old child with a history of developmental delay, seizures and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy was conducted. A four-week rehabilitation program was designed based on subjective and objective evaluation.The Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) was used to assess static and dynamic sitting balance and trunk coordination and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) was used for the evaluation of functional balance abilities.

Result
Static Balance improvements were evident in the areas that were preferentially exercised. The Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS)showed significant improvement. Hence, the results suggest that Muscle Activation Technique (MAT) exercises and Swiss ball training is effective in improving balance and coordination.

Conclusion
The four-week rehabilitation program effectively enhanced the paediatric patient’s static balance and in trunk control.
