摘要：Persons with cerebral palsy were included in a new kinesiotherapeutical programme lasting for six months and held in the new polyvalent gymnasium of the Faculty of Kinesiology. The programme was carried out for two hours once a week under professional guidance. There were 8 to 10 participants, aged 25 to 35. The fact that all the participants took part in the kinesiotherapeutical activities in their wheelchairs speaks of a new approach in the kinesiotherapeutical programme. For the fi rst time, individual exercises on exercise machines were applied. To enter and move around the gym (reaching each exercise machine, the gym mat, stall bars), the participants used various orthopaedic devices (motor-driven wheelchairs, standard wheelchairs and walking frames). The disability level of each user required an individual approach in carrying out the programme. For this reason, the number of students present equalled the number of participants. The methodological-organisational aspects of this work were adapted to persons with cerebral palsy and were achieved through the introductory, main and closing part of the kinesiotherapeutical programme. This kind of work required specific knowledge in the field of medical science (student-assistants) related to the neurological changes of the motor skills of persons with cerebral palsy, as well as knowledge of the methodological and methodical principles in the field of kinesiotherapy. Such a synthesis of knowledge from different fields (medical and kinesiological) provided an interdisciplinary approach to persons with cerebral palsy for the purpose of improving the whole motor status.
