Abstract

The purpose of this study was to help children with mental retardation who have hand function handicap to improve their exercise ability with introducing a proper exercise program. For this aim, I examined 10 children with EMR(male: 6, female: 4). To find out any changes of their hand exercise ability, I trained them three times a week, and forty minutes a day over twelve weeks. I modified the purpose of the exercise with four fields: operational function, perceptible function, balancing ability and cooperative adaptable ability. Before I applied, I measured the abilities of the sample group, and after six weeks, and after twelve weeks, and the results of the comparison are follow:First, hand exercise ability was increased as it was lasted.Second, hand exercise ability showed meaningful development after six weeks of the classified exercises until it was lasted without any difference for each field of classified exercises.
