Objective of the study was to offer theoretical provisions for special physical training model customizable for the cerebral-palsy-related movement remodeling to physiological motor stereotypes in the adolescent age, to facilitate progress in the postural controls and gait biomechanics.
Results and Conclusion. Every cerebral-palsy-diagnosed child is known to develop his/her own walking strategy or movement pattern that can hardly be changed or standardized, otherwise the vertical postural controls may be heavily compromised.
The study data and analysis showed benefits of special versatile physical trainings for functional progresses of children with cerebral palsy and their protection from potential adaptive overstrains by moderate healthy physical workouts. Such practices are recommended to include static postural control improvement exercises plus obligatory cyclic motor activities with an emphasis on the ground contact controls to improve the inter-muscular responses and reflexive fast adaptation mechanisms mobilized and excelled by such physical activity. It should be emphasized that the endurance and strength exercises should be prudently designed and managed with respect to the heart rate variability test data since the autonomous nervous system responses and controls are still incomplete and imperfect in this age group.

Keywords: cerebral palsy, gait biomechanics, classified cerebral palsy dysfunctions.
