EDUCATIONAL-METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF PHYSIOTHERAPY IN MOTOR DEVELOPMENT FOR CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY
Keywords:
cerebral palsy, physiotherapy, motor development, educational methodology, neuroplasticity, rehabilitationAbstract
Cerebral palsy (CP) represents one of the most common causes of motor disability in childhood, affecting approximately 2-3 per 1000 live births worldwide. This thesis examines the educational-methodological foundations of physiotherapy approaches in developing motor activity among children with cerebral palsy. The research focuses on evidence-based therapeutic interventions, pedagogical principles, and systematic methodologies that enhance motor function and promote optimal developmental outcomes.
