Abstract


Background and Aim: Ataxia is the most rare type of cerebral palsy (about 10% of all cases). People with this type of paralysis are suffering from disturbances and disturbances in balance and perception of depth and, consequently, depression. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of central stability exercises on the balance and depression of patients with athese .
Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 30 Ataxia patients were randomly divided into experimental and control groups of 15 patients. Ataxia has been used to evaluate the Atactic scale (ISCARS) and to assess the level of depression from Beck's questionnaire and to evaluate the balance of leaf scale. The experimental group was then subjected to central stability training for 8 weeks, three sessions per week and 30 minutes each week. The control group during this period was under the traditional methods and rules of the organization of the disabled. In this research descriptive statistics were used to categorize and summarize the data and inferential statistics were used to investigate and explain the relationships between variables .
Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the situation of balance (p> 0.05) and depression status (p <0.05) before and after treatment.
Discussion: The results of this study showed that performing central stability exercises improves the balance and depression rates of patients with ataxia .
