Abstract
What should be done to aquire satisfactory results on the training with ball-kicking and weight-lifting? Acrippled child is assigned a daily program of ball-kicking and weight-lifing at the individual home, and once in a while, the tester and the testee make contact with each other on the phone and check the progress of the training. One reason why this kind of experiment is not done at schools or at laboratories of proper facilities is that the number of the children with Cerebral palsy, who-have troubles only with their hand and foot are not many. But most of them have handicaps on other parts of the body besides limbs. Another reason in that the school spares to the external researchers two hours a week at the most, for the experiment and studies. And in most cases the preciaus are bothered by school events.
For the mother of the handicapped children, taking children to these laboratories once a week while training them daily at home, becomes an extra burden and it is hard for them to continue these experiment for a long period of time. The above mentioned are the main reason why we have done the test by connecting the home laboratory of the tester and the home of the testee by the phone. The tester gives directions and checks of the rehabilitation results periodically on the phone.
