rebound therapy

Hi

i am starting a dissertation on rebound therapy and i am having difficultly finding any research on its use. Can anyone can recommend any good journals/books on this topic?

Thanks!

I hope this is not too late for you I have had some trouble getting my login sorted to reply. Have you contacted the special interest group for learning disabilities ACPPLD they can be found throught the CSP web site. Also there is a bloke called Eddie Andserson based in Yorkshire who has done a lot of work in reboud therapy.

I would be very interested to know how you get on and in having a copy of your reference list if you are willing to share it.

I hope htis is of some use to you.

Hi,
Rebound Therapy is the phrase used to describe special needs trampolining; the use of trampolines in providing therapeutic exercise and recreation for people with a wide range of special needs.
Participants range from mild to severe physical disabilities and from mild to profound and multiple learning disabilities.
The phrase was coined by the physiotherapist, head teacher and remedial gymnast - Eddy Anderson who developed the techniques in the 1960s. Eddy has been refining the techniques ever since and with his team, runs tutoring course all over the UK for physiotherapists, school teachers, care managers and trampoline coaches.
The website for Rebound Therapy in the UK is Rebound Therapy dot org

Prior to the formation of Rebound Therapy dot Org, very little published information was available for Rebound Therapy or special needs trampolining. This website now provides an opportunity for those involved to publish and share their experiences and for students and practitioners to find and request information. Details of training courses are also shown.
Eddy Anderson can be contacted by email via this site.
