Objective To explore the surface electromyography (sEMG) assist for the rehabilitation training for children with cerebral palsy. Methods 60 children with spastic diplegia were divided into treatment group (n=30) and control group (n=30). All the children received comprehensive rehabilitation, while the rehabilitation program were designed with the assist of sEMG in the treatment group. They were assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) before and 3 months after rehabilitation. Results There was no statistically improvement in dimension A, B, and C of GMFM (P>0.05), but was in the total score and the dimension D and E (P<0.0001). There was no statistical difference in dimension A, B, and C between 2 groups (P>0.05), but was in the total score and the dimension D and E (P<0.01) after rehabilitation. Conclusion The sEMG might be helpful for the rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy.

Objective To explore the correlation between inelligence and speech development of school age children with cerebral palsy.Methods 46 school age children with cerebral palsy were evaluated with China Rehabilitation Research Centre Sign-Significance test (S-S)and Wechsler Intelligence Scale. The correlation between S-S and Wechsler Intelligence Scale was analyzed. Results The intelligence quotient decreased in 36 cases (78.26%), mostly mild to moderate. The development of speech delayed in 36 cases (78.26%). The outcomes of Wechsler Intelligence Scale significantly correlated with those of S-S Test (P<0.001). Conclusion There is a correlation between intelligence and speech development of school age children with cerebral palsy.

Objective To analyze the correlation of dysarthria and the type of cerebral palsy, motor function, mental and language developmentlevel in school-age children with cerebral palsy. Methods 102 children with cerebral palsy in the school were assessed withFrenchay Activities Index, Gross Motor Function Classification System, Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, and Sign-Significate relations(S-S). Results and Conclusion All the children with cerebral palsy have dysarthria at different degrees in the 8 items of Frenchay ActivitiesIndex. The dysarthria degree is correlated with the type of cerebral palsy, the mental and the language development level, but not correlatedto the motor function.
