Scooter Board Activities on Neck Control and Dysphagia in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Participants in this arm engage in scooter board activities designed to improve neck control and address dysphagia. These activities include moving the scooter board in various directions using their hands or feet, maneuvering through obstacle courses, and engaging in playful tasks that require reaching or turning, which can enhance neck muscle strength and stability.

Participants in this arm receive traditional physical therapy interventions, which might include range-of-motion exercises, muscle strengthening, stretching exercises, and postural control activities. These exercises are aimed at improving overall motor function, with a focus on neck stability and control. Standard physical therapy equipment such as therapy balls, balance boards, and resistance bands may also be used.
