Abstract:
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of bubble bath coordinating with functional training on the children with spastic cerebral palsy.Methods210 children with spastic cerebral palsy were randomly divided into the treatment group (n=118) and control group (n=92). All children were treated with functional training, acupuncture and other physical therapies. Children in the treatment group were added with bubble bath one time every day, twenty days as one course. Muscular tension was evaluated with modified Ashworth Scale and range of motion was measured before and after treatment.ResultsIn the treatment group, 55 cases were significant, 53 cases were effective, 10 cases were invalid, the total effective rate was 91.5%; in the control group, 26 cases were significant, 46 cases were effective, 20 cases were invalid, the total effective was 78.2%. There was a significant difference between the total effective rates of two groups (P<0.05).ConclusionBubble bath can significantly decrease the muscular tension of children with spastic cerebral palsy.
