Use of Dohsa-hou, a Japanese Psychorehabilitative Program, to guide Motor Activity of young adults with Cerebral Palsy
Asghar Dadkhah; Kyushu University, Japan
Summary. Dohsa-hou, a Japanese psychorehabilitation method using motor training, was introduced to 10 subjects with cerebral palsy in a pre-post (six weeks) design. Four expert raters were asked to judge the degree of improvement (range of motion, ease and smoothness of movement, correctness of posture) in the subjects’ body posture and movement. Findings suggest that the training method had a significant effect on body movement as compared to body posture. Since the effect may be particular to this subject group, further studies are suggested.
