Abstract:
Objective To investigate the short-term treatment effectiveness of the auditory integrative training(AIT) on intelligence, language and gross motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP).Methods Sixty patients with spastic CP, aged 2 to 4 years old,who had been given all the routine conventional rehabilitation at the Rehabilitation Department of the People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from January 2011 to December 2013 were randomly divided into AIT treatment group (30 cases) and control group without AIT (30 cases), all patients were investigated by using Gesell Developmental Scales and the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM)-66 before and after 3-month therapy, and the changes in the regional cerebral blood flow of children (rCBF) were detected by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) before and after treatment.Results The scores of development quotient (DQ) of the treatment group after the AIT in areas of adaptive behavior, personal-social behavior,language(52.44 ± 13.43,52.07 ± 11.57,57.19 ± 6.18) were higher than those of the control group (45.09 ± 11.02,45.86 ± 9.66,53.44 ± 5.49), and the differences between the 2 groups were greatly significant statistically(t =-2.32,-2.26,-2.49, all P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant difference in DQ of gross motor, fine motor and scores on the GMFM-66 in the treatment group before and after treatment [40.40 ± 8.57,49.50 ± 14.20, (55.81 ±8.72) scores vs 44.03 ±11.90,46.34±9.78,(58.81 ±7.86) scores,t=-1.42,1.08,-0.52,all P＞ 0.05].SPECT detected abnormalities in all patients (100.00％) both in the 2 groups, compared with the control group,the rCBF was improved significantly after treatment in the treatment group (86.67％) (x2 =35.49 ,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The treatment of AIT can greatly improve the intelligence, language development and the brain function in children with spastic CP.It is an effective adjutant of rehabilitation method for children with spastic CP to improve intelligence and language development, and has less influence on motor function.
