Abstract

<p>The purpose of this case study was to discuss the use of Dohsa-hou at a psychological rehabilitation camp to treat a 7-year-old girl with severe cerebral palsy. Her body was tense in the direction of extension.The trainee was participating in the camp for the first time. It was difficult for her to relax her muscles by herself. First, the trainer attempted to help the trainee notice her hip joint becoming involuntarily tense and to try to relax it by herself. Then, by means of a Tate training task, the trainer asked the trainee to deeply bend her hip joint, with the aim of putting proper tension on each part of her body and gaining control over her movements. Thus, the trainee became aware of her body-schema and was able to promote self-development. She had an active effect on the environment.</p>
