Abstract:
ObjectiveTo observe the effects of Balance Performance Monitor (BPM) on balance capacity of children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods96 children (2～5 years old) with spastic cerebral palsy were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group. BPM training combined with Bobath approach was used in the experimental group, and the Bobath approach was used in the control group. They were assessed with the BPM before and 2 months after training. Results2 months after training, the balance capacity in both groups improved than before（P<0.05）. Furthermore, the index of experimental group is better than those of the control group（P<0.05）. ConclusionBPM can improve the effects of Bobath approach on the balance capacity of the children with spastic cerebral palsy.
