Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of constraint-induced movement therapy on hemiplegia in children.Methods30 hemiplegia children caused by cerebral palsy or trauma were divided into 2 groups.Treatment group accepts the Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) combined with Bobath approach. The control group accepts the Baboth approach only. Before after 12-week treatment, Ueda Test and the Brunnstrom's test were used to classify every stage of the recovery. ResultsBoth groups improved their motor function assessed either with Ueda Test or Brunnstrom's test, which was better in treatment group than in control group.ConclusionThe CIMT with Bobath approach together can remarkably raise the rate of utilization of the hemiplegia suffering limbs as well as improve the learned non-use of the suffering parts.
