Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The experimental group will participate in the following regime:
Day 1 - Evaluation including standardized tests and measures: If Day 1 is a M,W, F, day 2 will constitute: aerobic exercise between 20-30 minutes based on patient tolerance using the appropriate RPE scale (13-15 on Borg with patients ages 13-21, and 6-8 on pictoral CERT with patients ages 6-12)to ensure correct intensity. Choices will include treadmill, stationary bike, game bike, or ambulating at varying intensities throughout hospital; Balance Activities: Standing on bosu ball while performing UE activity (throwing, catching with another ball, Frisbee, etc.). Standing on one leg or B LE's will be determined by patients currently level.
If Day 1 is a Tuesday or Thursday, day 2 will constitute: 5-10 minutes of aerobic activity at warm up level (11-13 on Borg, and 4-6 on PCERT)x resistance training for UE: biceps, triceps, lattisimus, rhomboids/mid-trap, thoracic expansion exercises, and other muscles based on patient needs; resistance training for LE: quadriceps, hamstrings, gluteals (especially maximus and medius), and other muscles depending on patient need, core and abdominal strengthening, Stretches for flexibility depending on the patients individual needs: Thoracic expansion stretches will be done with every pt. supine and sidelying. Stretches are held for 10 seconds and repeated 10 times, Hamstring stretches will be performed if pt unable to reach line with sit and reach test.
