The purpose of the case study is to understand the effects of exercise therapy on the Mild triplegia in Cerebral Palsy patient. [Methods]The subject of this study is a 15-year-old female on mild triplegia in cerebral palsy. The change of her body component was measured using bio -impendence by weight, quadriceps, and hamstrings strength and her physical function was measured by 10M returning walking speed. Muscular strength is measure by Peak torque and the leg muscular strength is meaured using MicroFET. This exercise program occurs during 6months from July 2008 to December 2008. [Results] After 6 months of exercise, Her weight is increased by 4.6%, lean body mass is increased by 9.0%, percent of fat is reduced 20% and BMI is reduced by 0.6% in the body components. In addition, The speed of 10M returning walking is reduced by 6.5%. Her Rt extensor is increased by 119.1%, Lt extensor is increased by 87.9%, Rt flexor is increased by 23.4% and Lt flexor is increased by 208.2%. Most of the lower extremity is increased. [Conclusions] By this we can see that constant exercise more than 6 month would give positive effect for Cerebral palsy patient on thier muscular strenth. It gives good effect to their physical function as well.
