Kineziterapijos poveikis sveikų vaikų ir su cerebriniu paralyžiumi raumenų pasyviųjų mechaninių savybių simetriškumui

The aim of the research is to investigate whether physiotherapy exercises can decrease asymmetry of pas-sive mechanical properties of skeletal pair muscles. In this research, 17 schoolchildren from 8 to 16 years of age par-ticipated. In the first group, 7 children had cerebral palsy. In the second group, there were 10 children without physi-cal and movement impairments. The subjects were treated with 10 sessions of physiotherapy on the therapeutic ball. Passive mechanical properties of the muscles were meas-ence between children with and without CP was observed. The research showed that exercises of physiotherapy on the therapeutic ball imitating horseman’s movements de-creased asymmetry of stiffness and tone of gluteus medius muscles of children with and without CP and only partially decreased asymmetry of stiffness and tone of their lumbar erector spinae
