Abstract:
Objective To evaluate multichannel functional electrical stimulation (FES) on motor and balance function of lower limbs in adolescent with cerebral palsy. Methods From January, 2014 to June, 2015, 20 adolescents with cerebral palsy were randomly divided into FES group (n=10) and control group (n=10). Both groups received routine exercise therapy. FES group received active and passive FES treadmill based on normal walking pattern. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) was used to evaluate the motor function of lower limbs;the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) was used to assess the balance function, and the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) was used to test the gross motor function. Results The scores of FMA, BBS and GMFM significantly improved 30 days after treatment (F>223.749, P<0.001), and the scores were higher in the FES group than in the control group (t>2.706, P<0.05). Conclusion FES treatment can improve the motor and the balance function of lower limbs in adolescents with cerebral palsy.
