Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of the synthetic rehabilitation treatment using the assistive devices for children with cerebral palsy.Methods 60 outpatients (male 31,female 29) diagnosed as cerebral palsy in our hospital from June 2009 to June 2010 were divided into trial group (n =30) and control group (n =30).Both of the two groups received our rehabilitation treatment three times a week.Compared with the daily family rehabilitation training of the control group,trial group still received a daily rehabilitation treatment by their parents using the assistive devices under the guidance of the therapist.They were assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure 66 items version (GMFM-66)and 88 items version (GMFM-88) before and after 6 months treatment.Results The total score of GMFM-66 and each dimension score of GMFM-88 improved in both group after 6 months treatment,except the centrol group Lying & Rolling dimension.Trial group 51 ± 13 vs.44 ± 15,control group 42 ± 17 vs.38 ± 16 (t =-3.580,P =0.001).There was significant difference on the total score of GMFM-66 and the three dimensions score (Lying & Rolling,Sitting and Walking,Running & Jumping) of GMFM-88 between two group.Lying & Rolling:F =4.59,P =0.036; Sitting:F =6.40,P =0.014 ; Walking,Running & Jumping:F =4.35,P =0.041.Conclusion The synthetic rehabilitation treatment in Medical institutions associate with family rehabilitation treatment using the assistive devices can effectively improve the recovery of gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy.
