The Effect of Basic Movement Intervention on Early Childhood Cerebral Palsy Spastic Quadriplegia: A Qualitative Approach

Mega Sri Warahmah

Abstract


This study aimed to evaluate the effect of basic movement intervention on early childhood with spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy using a qualitative approach. By involving ten intervention meetings, this study successfully recorded significant changes in children's motor skills, especially from the aspect of head control to rolling ability. Qualitative methods, such as intensive observation, interviews with parents or caregivers, and analysis of medical records, were used to gain in-depth insight into individual experiences and changes in daily functioning. The results showed that the children demonstrated a marked improvement in head control, signalling a positive adaptation to basic locomotion stimuli. In addition, notable progress was also seen in the children's rolling ability, which became more coordinated and independent after the intervention. The findings support previous research claims that movement interventions at an early stage of development can stimulate positive changes in the motor abilities of children with spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy. The qualitative approach proved its success in capturing the changes and challenges the children faced during the intervention. These positive results provide a strong foundation for further.
