And in cases of spastic cerebral palsy in the lower extremity, where the muscles of the body work in a violent manner and the muscle contraction during movement is not accompanied by an equal relaxation in strength and speed in the opposite muscles, and as a result of the imbalance in muscular and motor activity, rotation or twisting occurs in the knee and the lower extremity clearly, and this The imbalance causes imbalance during static and transitional movements such as standing, walking, and...... The treatment and rehabilitation of people with cerebral palsy have become a medical and social concern, and there is no doubt that physical exercises have been known for a long time and have yielded many positive results in improving and strengthening muscle work, especially for children with spastic cerebral palsy.

The brain is the main organ of the human nervous system, and one of the diseases that affect the brain is Parkinson's disease, in most cases we see a loss of balance in Parkinson's disease, so that the paralyzed member could not perform the required voluntary movements and this matter causes imbalance for the patient's person and with age and degree of injury may lead to a decrease in balance. Parkinson's disease may affect many daily activities, and treatments aim to alleviate these problems by helping you receive the knowledge and skills you need to continue doing all your previous activities, and sports rehabilitation consists in learning to move more naturally and with less effort. In this context, technological means are a tool to help achieve the objectives of the rehabilitation process. As we know that video games are an important and major part of technology in the modern life of humans, especially in the scope of rehabilitation for people with special intellectual - motor needs, and video games can be used in the rehabilitation process for these people to develop their motor skills throughout the stages of the game. It concludes from the research that the rehabilitation program using (mental exercises and video games) played a positive role to improve the skill of fixed balance and motor in the research sample and that mental exercises contributed well to improving balance in patients with type II.
