Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between gross motor function and spinal range of motion (ROM) in children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy. MethodsA total of 33 children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital from December, 2019 to March, 2022 were selected and divided into group 1 (grade Ⅰ, n = 12), group 2 (grade Ⅱ, n = 11) and group 3 (grade Ⅲ, n = 10) according to Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). SpinalMouse (spine morphometric machine) was used to measure the ROM of forward and backward flexion, and left and right lateral flexion of trunk, respectively, in sitting. Their gross motor ability was then further tested using the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) 88 item. ResultsThe ROM of backward flexion, the left and right lateral flexion, and the total ROM of sagittal and coronal plane were positively correlated with the scores of GMFM88 (r > 0.424, P < 0.05), and were negatively correlated with the grade of GMFCS (|r| > 0.424, P < 0.05). ConclusionSpinal ROM correlates with gross motor function in children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy.
