As the seating adaptations, ranging from simple to complex, standard and customized may facilitate optimal health and maximize functional participation despite limited postural control; the study will be conducted for determine the effect of contoured cushions as a seat adaptation on upper extremity function in children with spastic cerebral palsy and compare between the effect of flat cushion and contoured cushion in adaptive seating system on upper extremity function in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
As research continues to reveal the efficacy of ramped and contoured cushions on postural stability and alignment (Macdonald et al.,2015), it is likely that it will become accepted that such modifications will affect the UL functional level , mobility and rang of motion. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of contoured cushions as adaptive seating intervention on Upper extremity function in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
