Exercise can be very beneficial for individuals with cerebral palsy. Exercise can help improve muscle strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination, which can help individuals with cerebral palsy to better perform daily activities, such as walking, sitting, and standing.
1.Wrist Circles AROM
Start in a seated position. Using both arms roll your wrists one direction, then the other. Rotate in circles as far as comfortably possible.
2.Cross Arm Stretch
Stand upright and prepare to start the shoulder stretch exercise. This exercise stretches the muscles in your upper arm, upper back and shoulder and can be performed either sitting or standing. Move your arm across your chest at the height of your shoulder. Use your other hand to gently hold your elbow and pull the arm a little further across. You should feel the stretch across the back of your arm and shoulder. Hold this position and return to the start position and repeat to the other side.
3.Trunk Twists
Sit with equal weight on both buttocks, arms crossed at 90 degrees out from the chest. Rotate from your upper back as far as you can to one side, without moving your weight to the side. Keep looking at your hands. Change sides.
4.Hamstring Stretch
Sit upright on a bed or couch. Place your leg to be stretched straight out on the bed. Keep your other leg down with your foot on the floor. Keeping your back straight, lean forwards until you feel the stretch in the back of your leg. Hold this position.
5.Knee Hugs
Lie on your back with both legs straight. Bring one knee in towards your chest, using your arms on your shin to help with the movement. At the point where you feel a stretch, hold this position.
