Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of core control training on gross motor function for children with cerebral palsy. Methods 40 cases were divided into 2 groups, 20 cases in each group. The control group accepted comprehensive rehabilitation, and the treatment group accepted core control training in addition. They were assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88) before and 3 months after treatment. Results The score of GMFM-88 increased in both groups after treatment (P<0.001), and increased more in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). The difference of GMFM-88 score was more in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.001). Conclusion Core control training can improve gross motor function for the children with cerebral palsy.
