Abstract:
Objective To observe the effects of conductive education on gross motor function and Gesell development test results in children with cerebral palsy.Methods One hundred and thirty-eight children with cerebral palsy were stratified randomly according to the gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) and sexes into two groups:the conductive education group received conductive education combined with general comprehensive rehabilitation,the control group received general comprehensive rehabilitation only.After 4 months of training,the results of both groups in terms of gross motor function and Gesell development test results were compared.Results The GMFCS evaluation results of the 2 groups were compared through covariance analysis (F =4.479,P =0.036 <0.05),the result of conductive education group was better than that of control group; in both groups the result after training was superior to that before training.For Gesell development test results comparison,the differences between conductive education group and control group were statistically significant (P < 0.05) ; the result of conductive education group was better than before the training (t =24.93,P =0.00 < 0.05) ; but in control group the difference between the results before and after training was not significant (t =13.34,P > 0.05).Conclusions Conductive education could improve gross motor function and whole body development.
