Mat activities are a fundamental component of rehabilitation and movement training, providing a controlled environment for patients to develop strength, coordination, and functional mobility (Eapen and Cifu 2022; Sisto et al. 2008; Sullivan and Markos 1995). The mat program involves the patient in activities incorporating both movement and stability. They range from single movements, such as unilateral scapular motions, to complex combinations requiring both stabilization and motion, such as crawling or knee walking. The activities are performed in various positions to optimize function and adjust the influence of reflexes or gravity. The therapist also chooses positions that can help to control abnormal or undesired movements. Mat treatment unites all the parts of the PNF philosophy. In this situation it is easy to begin with activities that are strong and pain free and work toward enhancing those functions that need improvement. Because the mat activities involve many parts of the body, irradiation from the strong parts is easier to achieve. Last (but not least) the work can be fun.

摘要

Mat activities are a fundamental component of rehabilitation and movement training, providing a controlled environment for patients to develop strength, coordination, and functional mobility (Eapen and Cifu 2022; Sisto et al. 2008; Sullivan and Markos 1995). The mat program involves the patient in activities incorporating both movement and stability. They range from single movements, such as unilateral scapular motions, to complex combinations requiring both stabilization and motion, such as crawling or knee walking. The activities are performed in various positions to optimize function and adjust the influence of reflexes or gravity. The therapist also chooses positions that can help to control abnormal or undesired movements. Mat treatment unites all the parts of the PNF philosophy. In this situation it is easy to begin with activities that are strong and pain free and work toward enhancing those functions that need improvement. Because the mat activities involve many parts of the body, irradiation from the strong parts is easier to achieve. Last (but not least) the work can be fun.
