Abstract:
Objective To elucidate the effect of rehabilitation training on visual reaction times of children with brain injury. Methods Fifty-one children with brain injury recruited for the observation group were observed, 29 age-matched normal children served as the controlsubjects. All the children in both groups were tested in terms of the eye-hand visual reaction times(VRTs). All the patients were given rehabilitation treatment. Results Before rehabilitation treatment, the VRTs of the observation group were significantly slower than those of the control group (P0.05). Conclusion The attention and the motor speed were abnormal in children with brain injury, rehabilitation treatment can improve the reaction times significantly. The test of RTs could be of great importance in the evaluation of neurobehavior and therapeutic effect for children with brain injury, because of its easiness, sensitiveness and objectiveness in clinical application.
