ObjectiveTo observe the effect of muscle stimulating instrument in enforcing muscle stone of children with cerebral palsy after selective posterior rhizotomy(SPR).Methods106 patients were divided into two groups,treatment group(n=51) and control group(n=55).Two groups received routine rehabilitation therapy,otherwise,treatmwnt group were treated with the muscle stimulating instrument after SPR.Pretreatment and 30d,60d,180d after treatment,muscle stone of two groups was measured and compared.ResultsImprovement of treatment group in muscle stone was better than that of control group(P<0.01).ConclusionMuscle stimulating instrument is effective to improve muscle tone of children with cerebral palsy after SPR.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of selective posterior rhizotomy (SPR) on children with spastic cerebral palsy.Methods517 spastic cerebral palsy cases were operated on by SPR, and a following up was performed for 24 months. After operation, curative effect of SPR was examined and evaluated.Results298 cases had excellent effect (57.6%); 187 cases had good effect (36.2%).Conclusion SPR is very effective for children with spastic cerebral palsy.
