Abstract

This research aims to develop an innovative therapy tool called “BPW” (Boardwalk, Parallel Bar, and Wall Bar) to improve motor skills in individuals with cerebral palsy diplegia. The research method used is the research and development (R&D) model with the ADDIE framework (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation), which includes combining three therapy tools in one innovative tool. The results showed that the “BPW” tool provides various advantages, including improved balance, stability, and motor skills of children with diplegia cerebral palsy, as well as ease of use and space and cost efficiency, because it is designed to be easily adapted to the needs of each user and reduce the risk of injury. The innovation of the “BPW” tool is expected to be a practical solution in physical therapy, maximizing the effectiveness of motor training, as well as supporting long-term rehabilitation in children with cerebral palsy diplegia. © School of Engineering, Taylor's University.
