Abstract
Spasticity is a major problem in athletes with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy (CP) and may reduce movement efficiency and motor readiness prior to sports activities. Exercise programs for individuals with severe CP (GMFCS IV–V) should be safe, structured, and capable of modulating muscle tone while enhancing neuromuscular readiness. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of Bobath-based exercises in reducing spasticity and improving motor readiness in athletes with spastic quadriplegic CP. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted at the National Paralympic Committee (NPC) Clinic in Solo over four weeks, with three sessions per week and a duration of approximately 20–25 minutes per session. Twenty athletes with spastic quadriplegic CP classified as GMFCS IV–V were recruited using purposive sampling. Spasticity was assessed using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) for the shoulder, elbow, and wrist muscles, while motor readiness was evaluated through reaction time using the simple visual reaction time test. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Shapiro–Wilk normality testing, Wilcoxon signed-rank test or paired t-test, and effect size calculation with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results demonstrated a significant reduction in spasticity (p < 0.05) with large effect sizes and a significant improvement in motor readiness (p < 0.001) with a very large effect size. In conclusion, Bobath-based exercises are effective as a neuromuscular exercise strategy for athletes with spastic quadriplegic CP classified as GMFCS IV–V.
