Follow through and practice of strengthening activities can be fun and creative. This encourages children to perform these activities on a regularbasis to form lifelong habits to improve and maintain function. This course will examine why children with neuromuscular issues may develop alternate movement patterns due to decreased strength. Participants will also apply adaptive alternatives to traditional strengthening techniques that can be done either individually or in a group setting using bothopen and closed chain activities. These adaptations will include Pilates, Yoga, traditional exercise, and the therapyball for simple exercise routines that are fun and motivating. Participants will be able to immediately incorporate the activities presented and discussed into daily treatmentsessions.
