OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the effectiveness of static delay exercises in improving motor control and development of proprioception in children with mental retardation.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The study involved 80 children aged 12—14 years. For comparison, 4 groups of 20 patients in each were formed: the 1st, the 2nd groups — children with a mild degree of impaired intelligence; the 3rd, the 4th groups — healthy children. Completion of two courses of exercises throughout the academic year was proposed to experimental groups. The emphasis of static exercises performed with rubber expander was focused on strengthening the core muscles as a main segment, providing the body’s stability and participation in locomotions.

RESULTS

Significant differences in the changes of the indicators of dynamic and biomechanical disorders of movement patterns in children with impaired intelligence, primarily related to the improvement of movement coordination and motor act regulation mechanisms were identified.

CONCLUSION

Static delay exercises are effective for improving proprioception and movements control in children with impaired intelligence. Correctional work should be continued.
