Bike Skills for Children with Ambulant Cerebral Palsy | Part 1

Join one of our physiotherapists as she provides guidance on teaching children with hemiplegia and ambulant cerebral palsy how to ride a bike. The video highlights the challenges these children face compared to their peers and discusses the significant physical and mental health benefits of cycling. This video focuses on methods and strategies for children with Cerebral Palsy hemiplegia and diplegia (GMFCS I and II) allowing them to use two-wheel bikes. It covers the importance of understanding the specific distribution of cerebral palsy to adapt teaching methods and bike adjustments effectively. Tips are provided on selecting the right bike, focusing on weight, handlebar style, and appropriate size to ensure comfort and safety. The video offers strategies to encourage positive engagement with bikes, such as incorporating fun activities, it discusses how to progress from a balance bike to a pedal bike as the child gains balance and confidence and provides guidance for parents and caregivers to support their children in gaining independence and enjoying the benefits of cycling. ==== Sections 0:00 Intro 0:31 Research & F-words for Child Development 2:23 What does "ambulant cerebral palsy " mean? 3:08 Considering where the body is affected by CP for effective teaching strategies 4:08 Should you use stabilisers? 4:46 The teaching method: holding on to child's bike vs balance bike method 5:47 The bike: what to look for in a bike? 6:30 Tip if the child is nervous or fearful 6:53 The bike II: considerations for size, design and main bike components 8:04 Preview next part ==== Research: Ability of independently ambulant children with cerebral palsy to ride a two-wheel bicycle: a case-control study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27901...
